Jan. 10 The monster with clipped wings: Paul Jameson's Mk2 Monster, which cost him an estimated £2, 500 to build, has just become the world's fastest private road car. This 18ft. 7in'. long, six wheeled Monster, with a fibre-glass body has no less than three gearboxes, keeping in line the 12-cylinder, 27, 000 cc, Rolls-Royce Merlin engine; which came form a D.).A.C Argonaut Aurliner. With a 1, 760 h.p engine and a top speed of 185 m.p.h. it takes a special gearing to keep the top speed below 200 m. p.h. for sould the car reach over the top speed it would leave the ground. taking 60 gallons of 5-star petrol to top it up, Jameson's petrol bills are no envy of even the most elite car owners; paying anything up to £46-80, each time ti fill. Although the car is classified to go on the road it is virtually impossible for Paul to do so because of the narrow roads. It is in a way a Modern Frankenstein of Engineering and could soon be placed in History by being put in the Guiness Books of records, as the Fastest Private Road Car int the World
