Automatron is the best thing I've ever built and I'll probably never build anything quite this
0:05
detailed ever again. I wanted somewhere between a Cinderella's carriage and a competition altered

In 2015, Inventor pools starts work on his most ambitious project to date. Having already completed his impressive car, the Cosmetron, he began work on his
0:36
next invention. This car has been the most expensive car I've ever built and also has been the
0:41
most labour intensive up to now. Nearly every part is custom on this car. Four years of hard work
0:48
later and Paul has finally finished his once in a lifetime creation and he's ready to unveil it
0:56
This is my car, automaton. I want to go build a hot rod fenderless and the engine out
1:13
I didn't want to build anything like what had been built before
1:20
I wanted to go back to the days of the horse drawn carriage. I also looked at a lot of top-fueled dragster cars as well
1:28
One of the main things people always ask about is, you know, what's the engine
1:31
The engine is V8 and it's got Arden heads on it and it's supercharged
1:38
Sounds like the end of the world and it's really fast. A lot of it is they're one-off parts
1:44
We've got the navigation binnacle from a ship. But the exhaust tips, if you got married in the 70s, people would buy you a set of six
1:54
silver goblets and these are the goblets chopped off and bolted in the
1:58
This is a fuel tank. This was originally a gas bottle. This is part of a Lancaster bomber These switches you would have flick them and dropped a bomb Out and about driving this one of creation isn without its quirk
2:19
Oh, you're up, making a right turn around. Vision's somewhat impaired. All you can see is carburett is an engine
2:31
Probably the worst thing is the amount of attention. You can't stop anywhere
2:35
You know, you're just going to be surrounded by people. Did you make it
2:47
The whole thing, yeah. Took me four and a half years. I think it's great. Good job
2:53
Cheers. Thanks a lot. Cheers, mate. Oh, I call the ball. How fast as we go
3:00
It goes literally as fast as you dare go. What's the name? It's called automaton. automotron
3:05
Do you take me to first fit? Yeah, maybe. Oh, thank you for you
3:27
Automatron is the best thing I've ever built, most time consuming and the most expensive thing
3:33
And I'll probably never build anything quite this detailed ever again. Okay
3:41
That's Automatron. Sadly, you know, for me, the only thing that I really like is the building of the cars
3:50
and now it's complete. Automatrons for sale and, you know, soon it will be gone
3:56
and I'll have the money to fund my next project. I think when you've been so close to a project
4:02
and built it, I don't think you can ever fully sort of appreciate it
4:06
Someone else, though, can buy it and, you know, I'm sure they'll love it
