Sections of road in the IOM are "unlimited"
The German autobahns are "unlimited" in some section but you can still be done for speeding if the polizei consider you are driving dangerously.
As for no speed limit on a UK mainland road. It would require an act of Parliament to get it done, not easy but not impossible.

Maybe easier just to pay up to do the cannonball run and take lots of cash for the fines!
