Laurie Hatchard – 1997 Dax Rush Quadra 5.0-litre Special

Believed to be the factory prototype V8 car, it’s achieved plenty of success in hillclimbs and sprints. The heavily-modified Rover engine produces 450bhp, meaning this four-wheel drive Dax can hit more than 180mph along with stunning acceleration. It’s now returned to the competition scene, achieving a number of class wins.
