If you are interested, this eccentric hot rod is up for sale.
Paul Bacon, a British inventor, unveils the Automatron. He draws inspiration from Cinderella’s horse-drawn carriages and dragsters.
It’s and not just any custom vehicle. Sometimes it looks like an old car kitted out. It is built entirely from scratch, and almost all parts are custom-made for it. It’s Bacon’s most expensive and labor-intensive car
Bacon, fresh from his Cosmotron creation, decided to move forward with his 2015 project. He wants to create something new, but the Automatron looks almost like something Captain Nemo would ride in after getting off the Nautilus. He made the Automatron entirely from scratch with several spare parts. This included switches from a Lancaster bomber.
Front wheels for an Austin 7 . Bacon is clearly looking for cool and hot with the Automatron. We find the exposed engine design and lack of fenders to be annoying, but that’s what makes this unique.
The engine that was exposed is a 3.5-liter supercharged, V8. It has an estimated top speed at 110 miles per hour (177 km per hour). The engine’s total output was not disclosed. Although it isn’t a lot, considering the machine’s bareness, I doubt anyone would be willing to drive it very fast.
Bacon’s creation is currently for sale, but he did not disclose the price. This one-of-a kind ride is likely to be very expensive considering it is his most expensive.
