Midget + Lexus + BMW 5-speed
Amazingly packaged into this not-so-stealthy street-legal 1971 Midget is a Lexus V8, driving a narrowed Range Rover rear axle through a BMW 5-speed.
As if the Lexus were not enough, there's a Borg Warner T4 turbo charger. A very European build, and really quite impractical over here in the rainy UK with no roof, but an interesting example of what can (nearly) be crammed under the Midget bonnet. If you hanker for a pocket rocket of a ride, yours for £18,000 / $23,000 + shipping. Just needs a weekend's work to swap the steering over. [www.ebay.co.uk] Ivor Edited 1 time(s).

Re: Midget + Lexus + BMW 5-speed
Threading a steering shaft through the left side of the engine compartment doesn't look like a weekend job to me.
