00:36 COMM: Hurtling forwards at speeds of 226 miles
00:10
per hour, this is the view from inside Britain's fastest road legal car.
00:15
00:46 COMM: Red Victor 3 carries a 3000 horsepower
00:21
V8 engine that can propel it from 0-60 in under a second.
00:26
Yet you can still see owner Andy Frost taking it out for a spin around the streets of Wolverhampton.
00:32
01:10 COMM: Andy has dedicated his life to the project,
00:37
spending thousands converting a humble Vauxhall Victor into the speed demon you see today.
00:42
01:19 ANDY FROST: So Andy's got everything invested
00:46
in this, time, you know this is a 30 year project for him because realistically this
00:51
started with Red Victor 1.
00:52
The original Red Victor that he bought as a VX490 way back whenever.
00:57
So this is an evolution of that sort of let's say dream and so he's got every single thing
01:03
in his life for 30 years invested in what's sitting right behind me.
01:07
01:39 COMM: But Andy's efforts were once again paid
01:09
back when at the Santa Pod Raceway in Bedfordshire, the 53 year old broke his own speed record
01:15
by covering a quarter of a mile in just 6.4 seconds.
01:20
01.54 ANDY FROST 6.4, 6.25, 6.4, 0.
01:25
Oh come on you f***er, come on!
01:29
Andy's world record has just been broken by an American team, but he has vowed to go
01:36
even faster.
01:37
And with investors already backing him financially, next year Red Victor will surely be back to
01:44
claim its crown.
