Seen it - and heard it!

It was at the Model Engineering exhibition a few years ago.

I'm absolutely awestruck. This goes far beyond the realm of a "toy". Its pure art.

  Do I vaguely remember a man called Henri Baigent making fabulous model cars back in the 60s?

  That's the man. Look at that Rob Walker Cooper and Lotus. Actually, what jogged the memory was the mention of working engines.  Baigent's engines and gearboxes did not in fact work, but had all moving internals.

I can imagine it would be a right lump to drive, and would need a HUGE area to do so in.

Having said that however, I wouldn't turn down an offer of driving it...
