Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

This thread has my undivided attention, what an utterly amazing concept. Great stuff. 
Is the yellow Vauxhall a "Prince Henry" or something slightly later? That would be so cool with a BMW six cylinder Diesel engine, GM automatic transmission and suspension from something modern and complex. Phew, just as well that last bit was only a thought, imagine the flak if I'd written it....

Is that a 30/98? What is the story behind it?
Where abouts are you?
Personally, I think the Vauxhall is more interesting. Any more photos?
