This Sprite has a 3.8L Jaguar engine! Yes a 6 cylinder Jag engine! It fits without much body modification, but there was some strengthening of unibody and improvements to the brakes and suspension. Crazy eh! It weighs in at around 1800lbs with the weight split 53% front and 47% rear. It is not nose heavy as the engine is set behind the front wheels. I know that there are a lot of better choices for engines .... but nothing polishes up like a Jag 6 and it's British, and enough torque to use it to pull stumps on the weekend! More Info can be found at :

I need to name her ... If you have any idears on a name let me know, be nice though!
