Man invents invisible car

A British inventor has come up with the definitive solution to the curse of the speed camera – an invisible car.

Alberto – who comes from Birmingham but refuses to give his surname for fear of prosecution – has, after years of experimentation and research, at last found a way to fool the motorist’s nemesis.

He has rendered his Westfield sports car – capable of doing 0-60 in under four seconds – invisible to speed cameras by wrapping it in a specially formulated clear plastic film.

“It is beautiful in its simplicity,” Alberto explained. “The plastic film appears completely normal to the human eye. But the flash of the camera reacts with molecules in the film and light is reflected outwards to make the car appear invisible in pictures.”

It has taken several years to develop the product so it can be easily applied to the bodywork of the car and is heat-resistant to the extreme temperatures around the engine area. “By making my car unrecognisable to the authorities if I set off one of these Government cash-cows, they won’t be getting any more of my hard-earned money,” Alberto said.

But he admits there is a snag. The inventor said: “My main problem at the moment is covering the wheels and developing an invisible suit to wear. I’m trying new ways to overcome these problems. Then the whole car will appear invisible to the cameras.”
