Certainly share the enthusiasm for the design. 
Thanks sndwave!

The design has many cunning features. During the painting of the shell, a rod was inserted straight through the car allowing the shell to be spun round as it was painted.
The speedometer was originally put in the middle of the dashboard, cleverly covering the hole where the pole went. <<
Had not heard this before!
Godspeed.
