I think that car may be in the US now. At least I saw it in Chino about 4 years ago.

The motor came out of a hydro called Miss Bud. The car although advertised as street legal in reality was registered here as a tractor (restricted rego). Engineering wise the car is brilliant just dont like being deceived about its legality. I couldnt physically build this car and get it registered.
The car is now in the states

Registered as a tractor , that's creative !

I remember a merlin powered hydroplane called the Bayswater Bulk that was racing in the mid '70s , what a beast , you could hear it for miles .
