Video: Vauxhall Cavalier Mk1 ‘Mega Bertha’ takes on the hill

The clip shows Mega Bertha, a race car based on a Vauxhall Cavalier Mk1, making a twitchy run up the Hill. Built as a successor to Gerry Marshall's Vauxhall Firenza ‘Baby Bertha’, the Mega was originally due to race in the Super Saloon Championship, but it never actually hit the track.

However, thanks to the efforts of Ric Wood, the car has been fully restored and is now powered by a huge Chevrolet V8 engine. It's Ric you can see here, giving Mega Bertha a bit of a kicking...
