00:00It's the most amazing car I have ever seen. The car is very noisy and it's really big
00:08engine. It's like hell. The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. Elegant. Sophisticated. Beautiful.
00:24But this is a Rolls like no other. This is my ultimate Rolls-Royce dragster. Yes you
00:33heard right. And you've never seen a Rolls, or a dragster for that matter, quite like this.
00:40Rolls-Royce are normally a little bit boring cars. This is a little bit...
00:48My Rolls-Royce entry was fast, beautiful and fun. When I saw this Rolls-Royce, it just
01:00took me in my heart and it's the most amazing car I have ever seen.
01:05And this machine also has a special place in Petrie's heart. This is my favourite build.
01:11And that's a mighty big statement from a man whose previous creations include a supercharged
01:18quad bike, a 200kmh modified moped and let's not forget the combine harvester dragster.
01:25It takes one and a half a year to build this Rolls-Royce.
01:33With help from his friend Rain, Petrie started with a steel frame chassis, lined the interior
01:40with carbon and leather and called on a local furniture company to help with the finish.
01:45We don't know what's happening in here.
01:50You see it looks quite much like an ordinary Shadow Pro 74. But you see the engine and you
01:56see the exercise. Also when you come on the side of the car, you will see the drag wheels
02:03in the back. And you will see the car is much lower than an original one. You need to have
02:08that on the racetrack to cut all the power. And in the back of the car, see how wide the
02:15wheels are.
02:17And at the heart of this beast, if a supercharged Oldsmobile V8 isn't power enough, there's always
02:23the option of nitro in the back for that extra kick.
02:26Absolutely we don't need it, but we can do it.
02:31In here you have all things you need. Leather, interior, everything for a nice ride. And also,
02:36for fun rides, champagne, crystal glasses. And this is very luxury when you go to the drag
02:43street.
02:44The car is very noisy and it's a really big engine. It's like hell. We're going to start
02:50her off. First we're going to remove the steering wheel. More easy when somebody takes the wheel.
02:59the car is very tight. Isn't that just normal? We need more power.
03:14You hear it? I think it's very loud and fun.
03:21While Tony has no plans to part with this super silver shadow, if your pockets are deep enough,
03:28he may just be persuaded. This is a keeper, but if somebody gives you enough money, of course
03:35it is for sale.
03:37of course it is for sale.
03:44This is a keeper, but if somebody gives you enough money, of course it is for sale.
03:52This is a keeper, but if somebody gives you enough money, of course it is for sale.
04:07This is a keeper, but it is for sale.
04:21And this is back in the car.
