We Drove The Beast // A 27-Liter V12 Spitfire-Powered Monster

Mr. Dodd had absolutely zero f's to give😂😂😂

Can we also appreciate how architecturally excellent the owner’s house is? Those beams and brickwork!

Alpine in the back: I want to pass, but I don’t know if I would survive.

Thieves break into shmuseum Schmee: Excuse me, who are you?

Lmao it actually has a whole ass startup procedure.

Thomas : If you'd be this tall you'd do okay on tinder. James : I don't need tinder anymore. I felt that.

Saw this on the motorway, back when it belonged to Dodd, decades ago - used to tell class mates and friends about the Rolls with the spitfire engine and no one believed me - hope they see this and you benefit from the views and I get the kudos points I deserved. Great video, good to see Tim too.

We all know that the cameraman never dies but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t at mortal peril. I could feel the stress throughout this entire video.

John Dodds rebuilt my dads 1968 jenson interceptors gearbox in the late 70's, and always the showman he had it delivered to santa pod during a race weekend by light aircraft(that used the strip during the lunch hour to land and take off) My dad was race director at the pod at the time. In period he had the speedo gears rebuilt so it massively over read, then would touch 200 mph for journalists (while doing a true 140mph) trust me the noise and vibration dulled your sensation of speed, so 140 mpg would have felt like 200mph. The body was built by a company called fibreglass repaires in bromley london Who just happened to be owned by Bob and Roy phelps who also owned santa pod from the late 1960 to the early 1990's.

The thomas driving portion of this video is some of the funniest youtube content I have seen in a while 😂

that M5 joke had me in tears lmfaoo

Rolls-Royce Merlin engine with Rolls-Royce grill,the perfect combination Also grey looks much better than the yellow one

the beast is one of my all time favorite cars, it’s just such an outrageously amazing vehicle with a crazy backstory to it.

Low-key love what the current owner has done with The Beast. The OG incarnation was kinda too gaudy with the extra headlights lol.

Thomas looked terrified driving that monster 😂

12:02 lady's reaction was awesome lmao

13:05 that camber tells me it's made for the track :face-orange-biting-nails:

John Dodd is a legend, Martin is a hero for bringing it back to life. Thomas finally got the steering feel he always complains about. Schmee150: don't worry, they are from Canada. Looking forward to more fun from England!

It looks like a hearse from hell

HOLY SHIT. The Greatest Collab in Automotive YT just happened. My 2 favourite channels. Absolute legends.
