Doesn't look like they're used much, does it?
My brother's in the BMW performance trade and took an order late 90s some time from a Middle Eastern client for a pair of BMW M5s fitted with McLaren F1 engines (which were based on a BMW V12). It was looking like a juicy order but unfortunately McLaren wouldn't allow the engines to be fitted to anything other than their own cars.
strapping young lad:
the client could prob afford to buy the f1's then remove the engines
mclaren missed an opportunity there, can u imagine a beemer with an f1 engine in it
sod the m5!
Bush Tucker Man:
Yes, he's got (or had?) motors like the Bentley 4x4 Shooting Brakes, with Range Rover transmissions married up to the Bentley 6.75 V8
Plus the Ferrari 456 estates, etc..
Boddle:
Hmm from memory the chassis was a P38a (whatever it says) they were made by a company called RDS Automotive in Southam (went out of bussiness in 2005) I was working there when the started the project each vehicle cost about £1,000,000 at least 1 was lost in a fire after I left but hte Sultan still payed for it, never actually seen the end product not sure I like it either.
