MkI McWhippy?

Mid engined but not a GT40, the roof is wrong, not a Lambo (too curved).

No more ideas than that.

oh only one of you was even close

give you a clue, it has the engine joined to the gearbox by a big chain but it's not a BEC

I knew two people who owned them and all they're cars did was sit in garages waiting on parts.

A good engine housed in a terrible car, anyone who's looked over a classic Ferrari will know just badly built they were. Now that I work for an Italian company I can see why
