Apparently, it has a V12 Jag engine driving a hydraulic pump.
The axles feature hydraulic motors driving the wheels.

If I had that kind of money lying around.....................

If anyone got the Commer to do that, they would deserve a medal ;)

Hhmmmm - would need some pretty major surgery to the MGA to do that - do you think I could get away with a "max'd" solution of a stereo with V8 engine noises and injecting fuel into the exhaust ::) ::) ::)

Well done that man!  good to see someone that recognises  quality posts about a quality subject!   Now just to add a slightly different flavour to the topic - going boldly whence we have not yet been - here is an alternative replacement using the a blend of technology and the human frame - good for those high angle camera shots and for excursions to the mulsanne in the dead of night..............
