Robins / Yeovil

Robins was a one-off propeller-driven car named Hurricane, built in Yeovil, England, in 1955 by Daniel Robins's grandfather. The propeller was powered by what was described as the world's first Ford V4 engine, created by cutting a V8 engine in half and engineering the necessary parts to make it work, and could reportedly also be used as an airbrake in reverse.
