Old timer
100 years ago a journalist named John Bolster along with his brother scavenged enough parts to built "Bloody Mary". It was chain driven. Originally set up with two JAP motorcycle engines it was later converted to a Harley V-twin. The original parts accumulation was at a cost of 25 pounds sterling. The car survives to this day.
