The guys candor was as amazing as the story. I can still see him calmly say, with only a hint of a smile, "Yes, yes...it took five years for reverse but reverse works."

the fact that he hand built a 12 cyl dry sump engine that actually works (and sounds good!)... that alone is amazing.

Or how about a full-sized model of only the interior of their car?

Gerald Wingrove while his models do not actually run are rather phenomenal pieces of model making.
Here is a link to his workshop. His models are in some pretty prominent car collectors collections.

Mark, he actually said it has 5 GEARS and reverse works
Being French makes it easier for me to understand his accent
What an amazing story nonetheless. Wow.
