so this just came to my attention

I like this. It would scare me to drive this but I love that this exists in the world.

Meh, it's been done before.

Yeah, that's a 478ci Hemi powered Bugeye Sprite.

haven't heard from him lately .. but someone on here was building a V12 powered MG ….

Back in 70-71, I saw a 283 corvette powered bugeye at the local VW dealership. It had a hole in the bonnett with a big scoop sticking out.

There's a guy in Minnesota who has a Triumph TR6 with a turbocharged Pontiac V8. I just saw it again a few weeks ago at a car show, it's a pretty nice build. http://www.britishv8.org/triumph/edolson.htm

This thing runs a Merlin V-12 from a Spitfire.

The styling is...odd.

This might be what you are talking about. Sweet build, but I think due to reliability and weight and packaging issues he is now running an american v8.

Little cars with big engine. That's what I like

If I remember correctly, most of it is non-functional.

Possibly it's the reason Clarkson makes fun of red neck Americans and cars that can only go in a straight line

In reply to mndsm:

What I read is that its all functional, although not entirely needed.

I saw took these at the '11 Goodguys show in Columbus.
