Information
Built to set the World Speed Record for LPG powered cars.
On 17th October 1981 Ertl managed to achieve a record breaking 301.4km/h on a test run.
Because it was just a test run the record was never officially set, and before being able to claim the record Ertl died in a plane crash.
His Wife later lended the car out to be diplayed at british Midland Motor Museum, however the owner of the museum was accused of stealing cars and parts of cars so she took the car back.
In that period there also were parts stolen from this M1 so it was no longer running.
She kept the car secretly until she went on and sold it in 1993.
Was found near London abandoned and in a sad state in 2018.
