An ice-cream van which can go at more than 180mph hogged the limelight at the British Touring Car Championships in Norfolk.
The van, which does not sell ice-creams, has the engine of a Jaguar XJ220 and beat a Ford Focus in a race at Snetterton.

That's Justin Law's van, it's appeared at the Goodwood Festival of Speed for the last few years.

It was a development mule for the XJ220 engine, in Goodwood trim it came complete with Thermos, transistor radio and newspapers on the dashboard, whilst the driver sported a hi-vis waistcoat. It was in the top 10 fastest vehicles at the FoS, racing against F1 cars and touring cars. Glad to see it's been given a makeover :)

I wonder what time Sabine Schmitz could manage round the 'ring with that one.
