Melling Wildcat

This is the Melling Wildcat, or more specifically it’s the prototype of the Melling Wildcat that was developed by legendary British Formula 1, supercar, and motorcycle engineer Al Melling.

Al Melling had worked as a powertrain engineering consultant with British automaker TVR for a number of years, developing both the TVR AJP8 V8 and the TVR Speed Six straight-six engine in the process.Through his time working closely with the team based in Blackpool he developed an affinity with them, and so when TVR was offered for sale in 2007 Melling joined forces with rock legend and Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman to submit a formal bid.

The two men planned to keep production of TVR alive at the original Blackpool facility and to further develop current models while also developing all new cars. Additionally, their plans included building Melling cars alongside TVRs.

Unfortunately the proposed bid was unsuccessful, and so Melling set out on his own to produce his cars independently.

The Wildcat was intended to be built simultaneously at factories in Britain and the United States. The car could be ordered in a number of configurations and it was planned to be an affordable sports car for the masses.The Wildcat has a steel box section chassis with built-in roll over and side impact protection. It offered excellent rigidity for the weight and allowed the engine to be positioned behind the front wheel centerline, resulting in a car that was front mid-engined for optimal balance.

A fiberglass body was fitted over the chassis, this offered a low weight and rust free solution and despite its looks its actually both a little longer and a little wider than the Griffith.

A number of engines were offered from the Melling factory including the Al Melling-designed AJP8 V8 and the General Motors LS V8. Disc brakes were fitted front and back, and buyers could opt for either independent front and rear suspension, or a less expensive live axle rear. The Wildcat was said to be capable of 180 mph, with blisteringly quick acceleration – thanks in no small part to the curb weight of 998 kilograms (2,200 lbs).

This tiny and ornate vessel will carry one of the most important elixirs that I have ever brewed. He has been in the works for about two years now and has waited until the time was ideal. On two occasions I had posted about him and on these very two occasions he pulled back saying that this wasn’t the time that he could be worked with or received properly. That intentions would be to mistreat or that the practitioner wouldn’t quite understand the magnitude of the work involved. He was right. While I know of a few who would be respectful and honourable, I just couldn’t take the chance. So for this very delicate work it’ll be done through private sale. The process will be very important and equally so for the practitioner who buys it. Bune is ready to start working with those who seek his strength and energy. · · · · #maidenandcrow #maidenandcrowapothecary #maidenandcrowritual #themagician #traditionalwitchcraft #witchcraft #witchesofinstagram #witchshop #witchcommunity #thursday #bune https://www.instagram.com/p/B_C44D-Ajp8/?igshid=ai13hu34qyth
