Ole,

24 Cylinders? Sounds better than Shelby.

BTW, we saw the car at the British National Motoring Museum on or last trip to
England.  It is in a castle at Beaulieu  (Booley).  Lot's of great stuff there,
and manufacturer's exhibits.  Dunlop had the history of the Tyre, going from 
wood
rims with solid rubber thru the latest Grand Prix stuff.  Lucas had a simple
display of lights from acettlene, P-100's, and new sealed beams.  All had small
lights inside, running off low voltage, so they would glow, but not bright.  The
exhibit was closed, because it wan't working.  Leave it to Lucas, he really is
the Prince of Darkness.
