The Swandean Spitfire was a speed record contender built after WW2. It was based on a Rolls Royce Merlin engine from a Mosquito with the chassis made from two Daimler Scout chassis welded together. The car was used mainly in the Brighton Speed trials, achieving 240 kph in the flying kilometer. For comparison., the car on the right is the Bennet Special, based around a 250 cc motorcycle engine.
