Late last year it looked as if Bloodhound, the project to push the Land Speed Record beyond 1,000mph, was dead. The administrators had been unable to find a buyer, and the car was going to be broken up for scrap. Then, just before Christmas, it was announced a buyer had been found. Now we have the first evidence of Bloodhound"s regeneration under new management. The most obvious change is the switch of colour scheme, while the project is now operating out of new premises alongside the Magnox nuclear power station on the banks of the River Severn. The project has been bought by Yorkshire engineer and entrepreneur Ian Warhurst, but will pursue a similar strategy as before. "It"s the most expensive car I"ve ever bought! Over the last decade, an incredible amount of hard graft has been invested in the project and it would be a tragedy to see it go to waste. I"ve been reviewing the project and I"m confident there is a commercial business proposition to support it."
