WARMAN SPECIAL BEACH RACER

Rod Hadfield’s Warman Special is a full-sized version of a land-speed model his

grandfather - Sidney Raymond Warman - built in the 1930’s.

Built around a 27 litre V12 Rolls Royce engine sourced from a Centurian tank –

mated to a lengthened Packard limo chassis. The body is hand built in aluminum

and period parts were used whenever possible.

Rod spent five years planning the project, collecting period parts and building this

152 inch wheel based Special

Rod also built a 1955 Chevrolet - with a 27 litre Rolls Royce Merlin supercharged

V12 out of a P51 Mustang fighter plane – called “Final Objective”
