And just incase 8 cyclinders are not enough how about 10.
You should have heard this one scream, must have been doing +13,000 revs as it went up the straight.

The engines are supplied by a company called Nicholson Mclaren who specialise in supplying and looking after Cosworth DFVs and the later
derivatives.
I think their engines have won the British Hill Climb Championship for the past few years.
I was lucky enough to be shown around their facility a few months ago. It is an amazing place, a real petrol heads dream.

And the V10 is an ex arows one - it's in the back of the GWR Predator. Fully automatic upshifts as well
Oh, and the NME engine is in the Martin Groves car if my memory for colour schemes is any good
