If I'm not mistaken, it was used in a TVR at one point.

Easily Mazda's Miller Cycle engine.

I know we're all thinking it but I'm not sure if anyone has said it here.

They won't but they should, that's the point.

The F-Type is supposed to be a 911 competitor, so this would (in theory) be more like an XKR or 6 Series competitor, more like a Gran Tourer than a sports coupe.

Yeah, I thought about that, but I guess the main difference here being that theoretically it would be smaller, lighter, and have less power than the Mustang.

Ford Capri

Except the 04-06 GTO was not a retro design, it was just an attempt to sell the Holden Monaro in the US under a name that resonated well with GM enthusiasts. Ironically that strategy was the car's downfall; that and that stupid grille. It looked much better as a Holden.

True. The way I see it is that if you're going to buy a sports car or any enthusiast minded car for only a grand you pretty much know what you're getting into. You got the car for cheap and you can put as much or as little effort into keeping it running. I would argue that it's the same deal for a lot of other cheap

So it isn't listed for 1000, but I bet you could cut a deal with the seller for this Porsche 944. This one isn't running but would make a good project.

I've had 3 cars that I've named and I've used the first letter of the make or model as the starting point for each car:

Fair enough, I can tell from looking at it that it doesn't look like the safest van around. I imagine the lifted 4wd models are prone to rollovers, too. Sorry to hear about you accident.

Mitsubishi Delica 4wd

It's the Fiat Strada for me. Bring it over here Fiat/Chrysler, I would buy it.

Is this particular one yours? If so I must say bravo to you, sir.

Just close your eyes and imagine how awesome the new 500 Abarth would be with rear engine, RWD.

Not to be THAT guy, but I did suggest the Bell Star Classic first.

I always thought the Bell Star Classic was cool, especially if you track something a couple decades old.

I see the inspiration
