Fabens, Texas, US
This is a Q-1B Flight Suit Heater / Rheostat taken off a P-51 Mustang we rebuilt in the 80s. This type of Flight Suit Heater / Rheostat was used in various WWII aircraft to heat up flight suits. The pilot or crew would simply plug in his flight suit into a rheostat to heat/warm up. This is truly a unique P-51 Mustang Flight Suit Heater / Rheostat making it not only a great addition to your collection and great conversation piece but it will also make great museum display.

Spyker B6 Venator Spyder on the way
Tue, 30 Apr 2013But much of that will probably depend on real buyers stumping up real money to get on the waiting list for a car we still don’t know a great deal about (in particular what underpins it) but which does look good and manages to encompass Spyker’s traditional styling cues whilst still conspiring to look very current. Now, buried amongst the latest financial report from Spyker – which shows no real turnover or profit, loans in to shares and an injection of cash from Youngman – comes the news that Victor is already getting a bit ahead of himself again with plans to reveal the B6 Venator Spyder later this year. That looks a bit of a ‘run before you can walk’ scenario for Spyker - especially as Victor says production of the C8 Aileron will gather pace this year and the D8 Peking-to-Paris SUV will be a priority – but if Spyker can produce a Venator Spyder that looks as good as the coupe it may be the right way forward.
