Looks to have been heavily re-worked - dry sumped, plus the turbo might not be from the donor.
Some Vauxhall/Opels have the oil filler in that location?
But I'm sure I've seen a rocker cover very like that one in a British car (or Jap clone of one).


As to the car, it looks to be LHD and has a novel inter-link between the front wheels.
Presumably this is some form of camber compensation or anti-roll mechanism.
Inboard dampers with remote reservoirs is also pretty unique.
Ermmmm.....still thinking.

Its not a Vauxhall/ Opel
As far as I am aware all the ancileries that you can see are from the orginal engine.

And this engine is not in its orginal host

Looks like a Volvo engine - one of their straight sixes?

Tempted to say a Seven copy of some kind, maybe a Dax/Mohr Rush.  But I can't see any panels around the engine bay, which you'd normally get with a seven.

I guess it's probably a one-off, of something like a T-bucket or 30s-style roadster.
