Seems to have completely passed me by, must have been around in the 70s going by the styling of the bodywork.

seems it did get a body but I just dont recall it at all

It's a new one to me too.

Caption for this pic reads
"19th July 1977: Paul Jameson works on his MK2 Monster car in England. With a top speed of 185 mph, it is the world's fastest private road car."

Timetravel could probably tell you more... there's some more pics on his post on • View topic - Rolls Royce powered Jameson car

Thanks for those funny how some cars just slip by unnoticed I read every mag I could afford in the seventies but never saw this (although I'm sure I remember the free licence plate hot car sticker, unless one of the other mags did a similar one).

Seems he's the guy who originally built the Beast before selling it to John Dodd

I think it was Nationwide Steve.

This is the car I asked about on the John Dodd thread a couple of weeks back. The only time I remember seeing it was at a Crystal Palace drag show, must've been around '76. They were trying to start it on the bridge in front of the sports centre without success.

What a car, it really is a monster, never seen that before. It would be a real shame if you're right Mopar. Fingers crossed someone will come forward and say it's being rebuilt.
