Just picked on of these up. Surprisingly similar to my 240z.

 

2.5l straight 6, side drafts, 4 speed, 2 seater with rear cargo/deck.

 

Just british, uglier, fiberglass and coilovers

In all honesty, I've had the 240 and 260z for a couple years and never really played with them. My 510 has an Sr so this thing is the extent of my side draft in line 6 knowledge, but it looks very similar.

 

That's the 2.5l triumph motor out of a TR6. Carbs are strombergs :/ (for now)

God that's ugly.......sweet!

That thing looks like it could be fun ad hell to drive.

Looks like 5 toooooo many styling accents things were added.

Looks way more ugly parked next to that Lotus. There's something cool about is oddness, that's kinda the tvr way though.

They actually look great from behind. But I agree the smashed catfish look on the front isn't great.

 

Very fun though from the little I've driven it. Sounds pretty nice too

that BAT one is quite a bit nicer than mine.

 

I'd actually love to build a little 2.0 ford. The power coming out of the triumph isn't that great. But you don't need much in such a small car. I'll keep it all original as long as everything works. Seems most of them have been molested for better or worse.
