Designed by Julian Caldow (illustrations) and Keith Short (final body sculpt) referencing design queues from the Salt Flat Racers of the 1930s and 1950s Sci Fi concepts. It featured an emergency "Batmissile" mode that shed all bodywork outside of the central fuselage and reconfigured the wheels and axles to fit through narrow openings. Once deployed, the mode defenestrated the car's exterior, which required rebuilding afterwards.

After registering at the front desk (today’s Boston Park Plaza) as “Mr. Whitely,” he demanded a phone installed in his room not connected to the main switchboard. Meals must be served in his room and delivered by the same bellhop. And please, no surprise knocks on the door.

The mysterious little man was actually Frank Whittle, a 34-year-old Royal Air Force (RAF) officer, pilot, and inventor of the jet engine. Earlier in the year, he nearly suffered a nervous breakdown from exhaustion while racing to bring England, under attack from Germany, into the jet age...

This jet engine has been going full blast behind one of our warehouses for like, ten years or something. I really wish people would explain stuff to me.
