I have never seen one of those!

It reminds me of (front end) a 1970s Vauxhall Viva and (back end side view) a 1970s/80s Ford Capri ;)

It is not one of those cut and shut cars is it?  :o; ;D ;D

But why do people see the need to put modern engines into an older car. It should have a 1900 CIH engine (Cavaliar/Manta) in it.
I've seen them with original engines but with fuel injection, presumably from Manta's etc fitted.
