Don't even worry about the Porsche. All of your projects are amazing. Jump back and forth as you get parts and time This aero car will be a great build!
Agreed! The Porsche will always be there, and the world is full of them; there is no need to hurry for the sake of historic preservation. It's not that car anyway.
Congratulations Dom. Just watched the video - looks like a very good start - don't be scared to throw some of it away and on a technical note, the back axle ratio is going to be very important, so check what it is and start getting a crown, wheel and pinion made as it takes a very long time. Look forward to welcoming you to the Shed soon. And thanks for the mention. Ivan
When I started at LMB in Belgium, they had just finished a home grown Minerva. The original sleeve valve smoke generator engine was shot, so they built a Liberty V12 from parts left over from the first war. I wasn't cheap, but it was absolutely brutal. They made quite a few engines so there must be another being used as a door stop somewhere.
Suggest a lorry/bus gearbox in order to handle 200hp. I have a barn full of old aero engines - but none quite that early. The original Napier Lion - an excellent engine, came out in 1917, but was developed through to 1930..... Not easy to find, but the later ones were very pretty robust and reliable. They started at 450bhp, and ended-up at 600-1,350bhp The really ideal engine would be a Wolseley Viper V8 - a 200bhp, direct-drive version of the Hispano Suiza 8b geared-drive engine. However - none of these engines are easy to find - so you may be best advised to look again at the OX5.
Best of luck Dom, finding an inline, pre 1918 engine will be pretty tough, as most aero engines were either radial or rotary units and it wasn't until the BE2 fighter bomber that inlines became popular and we're made by Rolls Royce (very expensive) and the German equivalent, Daimler Benz (as rare as hens teeth due to the scrapping of WW1 German aircraft. Maybe, if you can find one, a very early Gypsy Major 6 cylinder inline engine may be your best bet. It was used extensively by the De Havilland Aircraft Co almost from their inception and delivered good reliable horsepower in all their variants. Only problem was that they were mounted inverted which would require some massive conversion work to turn it cylinders up! The torque from most aero engines means that you could get away with a two or three speed gearbox, possibly one out of a boat and it would come with a reverse gear for when you have to get out of the Armco after the rest brakes fail! 🤣🤣🤣
while much later and mid engined, the Stanton Crop Duster Special used an inverted 4 cylinder De Havilland engine from a Tiger Moth, some of the engine solutions may apply, this car is still running and was at Goodwood in 2009, but I think a six cylinder would work well visually with the Rochet's long wheelbase and to my ear Ranalah Rochet sounds more period than Ranalah Rocket th-cam.com/video/75fQR2qp2Xo/w-d-xo.html
If he's allowed WW1 engines, either Hispano-Suizas, or Bugatti aero engines, but he may have to sell the Porsche, and maybe the house to buy one 😳 .... can't really go wrong with a Napier Lion or Sea Lion variant, either. No aero engines from that time period are inexpensive, though, so I'm sure he's in for a penny, in for a pound.
I think that you ought to focus on the engine which it already has. It looks as though it is probably a very interesting engine in its own right. Wouldn't it be a shame to separate the original engine from the chassis? Perhaps there are good reasons for breaking this up but I would have thought that originality counts for a lot. You use the term Edwardian loosely, most Edwardian, i.e. pre-1910, aero engines would be very rare, limited hours museum specimens. Most of the aero-engined cars which inspire you would have benefitted from the vast amount of war-surplus stock sold off at scrap metal rates after 1919 (and therefore are strictly Georgian). That said, good luck with this one, I'm sure it will be an interesting project to follow.
Peter Jackson, the famous film director from New Zealand has the biggest collection of WW1 aircraft and engines etc in the world including never used aircraft engines still in their original packing crates! It might be worth reaching out to him...
My "26" Model T Ford speedster is not of the caliber your car will be when you're finished, but it's as close as my budget will ever allow me to get to an Edwardian car. Like you I started with just a chassis and big dreams. I fell in love with the Edwardians about 5 years ago and I knew I had to try my best. Ivan will get you through it. Cheers from a shed in Iowa
What you need now is a Liberty L12 aero engine. These date from the Great War, and were designed and built in the US. Being only 27 litres, and fairly light and compact, I think that it would fit the bill. A land speed record car, called the White Triplex, was constructed around 100 years ago, with THREE of these engines!
The Liberty V12s are the playthings of people who heat their Boathouses with soiled ten pound notes to keep their Mahogany Dual Cockpit Runabouts warm in the winter. Perhaps he could sell his house, all his tools, cars, and motorbikes, plus rent out some of his clothes on days where he isn't wearing them to get his hands on a good Liberty and some spares. The good ones of those things are eye-wateringly, BRUTALLY expensive these days, which is a shame, because it would be A FANTASTIC choice
Congratulations Dom, on securing the foundation for your dream project! These things do not happen by chance, but by following your heart and taking the first step. The stars will align and it will gradually evolve.

Good luck with the aero engined car Dom, you’ve already nailed the name. I’m exited for you and very much look forward to your new adventure, can’t wait!

Hey Dom...... For me ....any of your content is good to see....your Journey is always interesting to watch and I cant wait for each video......each project is individual and good to see progress....Porsche, Bikes, Pedal Cars, Ranalah's.....all good....thanks for all the hard work!
Considering we both make automotive TH-cam videos how I haven't seen your channel before I have no idea but im super exited for this project, we need more pre war cars on TH-cam...yes im going to have to get one at some point too
Great that you've managed to get a rolling chassis. Good luck with the project, and I do like the sound of the "Ranalah Rocket", sounds like a proper vintage race-car name.

I will bet that your Edwardian club will be full of enthusiastic members who will love to share their passion for these old racers. I suspect more than a few of them will have part "stashes" and might be able to assist with some of the items you will need.
New to your channel, saw that Liberty and jumped on, been a dream of mine as well, unfortunately got too old and bent with spinal cord injury or I’d be easing along with the shed racer. This part of projects is really exciting as your creative juices flow and become reality. I’ve watched that bunch every chance that you’re interacting with, great way to get old and stay young.
Congratulations Dom, looks like a great start. I’m sure you will figure out the engine, but might I suggest you talk to Jobie Carter about a truck transmission from the era you are looking at. They would likely be strong enough to take the torque of any aero engine you end up with, if you can find one light enough. He might have some good ideas what to look for and maybe some contacts to talk to. Cheers from Canada. Tim
Great job securing the chassis, now the fun and games begin finding all the other parts. Stumbled on this page on f/book (aero - engine race cars , boats , bikes ,ect might have some contacts. Good luck.
very sad you had to sell the original Ranalah, I remember how excited you were to hunt it down and the journey to find the old boy engineer with the classic Italian cars. This sound like it's going to be an amazing ride though and I'm here for it!
Oh wow! Went to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley on Thursday. Little did I know I would be following a master class on how it was built 😜. Good luck Dom. looking forward to this one.
Nothing ventured NOTHING GAINED!! Wonderful project- Go for it you've the skills and passion, Job done. Reach out to Jay Leno perhaps .. he has a love of turn of the century vehicles, and reproduces old parts I believe, also look for an Australian guy Rod Hatfield and his home built "special "
At the risk of sounding like a yes man Yes! Yes! Yes! 😂😂Ranalah Rocket [RR] can't wait to see it on that hill. You could start a crowd funder with a ride up the hill being one of the rewards !!
Wow, a brilliant start on your project journey 👏 congratulations. I have a 1930 Ford model A that i drive daily....not as early, or as rare....but definitely lots of fun! Especially to park in lidl car park for the shopping! 😊
I think this is one of the most exciting new mechanical projects on TH-cam, Allen Millyard level! And I get the replica thing, it's like your 356; for tens (or hundreds) of thousands less you could be driving something that 99% of people wouldn't know was any different from the Stuttgart original...but you would.
This is amazing Dom. The SF Edge is my absolute favourite Goodwood race at any of the events and the idea to take inspiration from Ranalah coach building is perfect for your car.
Those bicycle frames especially one to the side of the car was fantastically unique!! You truly found a beautiful base for your project from someone who clearly cared about what they had!
Golly Dom, I am so so happy to hear you have found your pre 1916 chassis. I am also so enamoured by these modern day 'Whacky Racers' lol and cannot wait to see your version invited to take part in a race. Will be folowing every step of the way you can be sure.....and any other projects will be definitely in my remitt. Basically BRILLIANT stuff. 😃
Dom, everyone secretly wants an Edwardian racer. Most people are just dreamers and as my dad said to me when I was in my teens ..... never ever be a wasser. When I asked what a wasser was he said, one of those people that was always going to do such and such, but they never do. So I have followed his thinking ever since. Never regretted it for a minute. All the best from Normandy, France
I am an avid Chitty fan. May you succeed in this venture. I look forward to following your progress Dom. Vehichle electrics are my speciality. I just wish I had the room you have for this project to do one myself. Ranala Rocket ,,R R...YES!❤❤❤
Hi Dom, JUST AMAZING we don't have anything like this in New Zealand (New Zealanders correct me if i am wrong) I hope you get this done in 1 year or 5 years I'll still be watching love you videos ❤❤
Great to hear you are beginning your Edwardian racer project. I was at Shelsley Walsh (the world's oldest motorsport track) today (VSCC meeting), watching some of these vintage beasts attack the hill.
Hi Dom, a bit of a long shot but last weekend I was at Old Warden aerodrome to see the shuttleworth collection, one thing that I did notice was quite a few first world war aero engines in the sheds, maybe they might be interested in parting with one, it could be good media coverage for both of you, good luck, I love the channel.
No chance of them parting with aero engines. You've more chance of finding one buried in yer garden! Old Warden is certainly worth a visit in any case though.
As neat as all your other projects are, I think I am more excited about this than anything else you have done. I've always liked the idea of an early single seat "racer". I'm quite looking forward to see the progression of this into a "Special". 👍👍
That's a great start for what you want to build. Grab your Hemmings subscription. Pre 16, get in touch with those (old, Like me!) guys , collect everything you can, save it all. Still lots of early stuff here in USA. Plan a trip to Hershey PA. Oct., KEEP at it,,,,DUBS
Excellent presentation to camera Dom. You’ve convinced me to follow this one with great interest. Can’t wait to see you getting your hands dirty (dirtier 😀)!
You bring pleasure to so many people with your passion and enthusiasm. I wish you every success with this project: like the Porsche, it will take a long time, and plenty of money, but I trust that you will find ways to see it through. In the meantime, I look forward to progress on the J40 and send my best wishes.
Fantastic my friend!! I am so excited for you. I have been slowly putting together a machine shop to support my build of a 1928 Morgan/GN special. I will be looking for a GN rear here in the states mainly but I believe I am going to use an MG rear and a transmission. That is so awesome that you found such a gem!! I am looking forward to seeing you builds.
Hi Dom, I love the sound of the Ranalah Rocket. Coach built body gives you an ideal opportunity to bring along the skills of apprentices by building various body parts at shows and demo’s. I suppose it would be a bit like getting them to learn whilst at the same time driving them towards top-end production. A motoring community build with a single purpose. Taking it to GOODWOOD. Best of luck and I hope all goes well. W

Wow !!! Wishing you GOOD LUCK and lots of parience .. on this AMAZING PROJECT !!! CHEERS from Québec 🇨🇦🍺🍺
All the luck in the world can't wait to see how you get on
Great to hear you are beginning your Edwardian racer project. I was at Shelsley Walsh (the world's oldest motorsport track) today (VSCC meeting), watching some of these vintage beasts attack the hill.
Hi Dom, a bit of a long shot but last weekend I was at Old Warden aerodrome to see the shuttleworth collection, one thing that I did notice was quite a few first world war aero engines in the sheds, maybe they might be interested in parting with one, it could be good media coverage for both of you, good luck, I love the channel.
No chance of them parting with aero engines. You've more chance of finding one buried in yer garden! Old Warden is certainly worth a visit in any case though.
Congratulations Dom, looking forward to coming along for the ride with your new project! 🇨🇦
As neat as all your other projects are, I think I am more excited about this than anything else you have done. I've always liked the idea of an early single seat "racer". I'm quite looking forward to see the progression of this into a "Special". 👍👍
That's a great start for what you want to build. Grab your Hemmings subscription. Pre 16, get in touch with those (old, Like me!) guys , collect everything you can, save it all. Still lots of early stuff here in USA. Plan a trip to Hershey PA. Oct., KEEP at it,,,,DUBS
What a fantastic project Dom. Full respect to you.
Ivan’s channel is a hoot.
I'm very excited for you. It'll be great fun seeing how the project progresses!!
Dom has gone full Caractacus Potts !!!
Chitty was a true Brooklands racing car. So chitty chitty bang bang being an ex racing car is based on a true racing car
@@meeshkerWith its origins in a place called Burton Lazars, near Melton Mowbray, I believe.
Oh boy, oh boy, I can’t wait to see what happens. Absolutely hope it all goes well. Good luck. 👍
Loving your thoughts on this project. You have me intrigued. New subscriber
Love the new project 👍. Fit a Merlin 😎
It needs to be pre 1918!
@@DominicChineas oh…yeah…shame!
Excellent presentation to camera Dom. You’ve convinced me to follow this one with great interest. Can’t wait to see you getting your hands dirty (dirtier 😀)!
What a fab project… I shall eagerly await each episode with antici…….pation.
Love watching your projects, can't wait for you to finish one, but must say the Aero engine project will be very interesting
Congratulations, Dom!
Ranalah Racing sounds like a great start, Dom.
Good luck Dom . . . great project.
You bring pleasure to so many people with your passion and enthusiasm. I wish you every success with this project: like the Porsche, it will take a long time, and plenty of money, but I trust that you will find ways to see it through. In the meantime, I look forward to progress on the J40 and send my best wishes.
Fantastic my friend!! I am so excited for you. I have been slowly putting together a machine shop to support my build of a 1928 Morgan/GN special. I will be looking for a GN rear here in the states mainly but I believe I am going to use an MG rear and a transmission. That is so awesome that you found such a gem!! I am looking forward to seeing you builds.
Hi Dom, I love the sound of the Ranalah Rocket. Coach built body gives you an ideal opportunity to bring along the skills of apprentices by building various body parts at shows and demo’s. I suppose it would be a bit like getting them to learn whilst at the same time driving them towards top-end production. A motoring community build with a single purpose. Taking it to GOODWOOD. Best of luck and I hope all goes well. W
Great ideas Dom, a Ranalah Special sounds awesome!😊
I'm heading to Donington Park this Sunday, hoping to see some of these Edwardians. Hopefully one day I will see your car there too 😊
I hope so too!
