Up at Beamish Morgan - anybody recognise this car?

Got a S1 front with a Max rear and a racing car interior.

Is it a GTN?

I have a sneaky suspicion this has a Dodge Viper V10 fitted - it made a brief appearance this week on one of the Morgan F/B sites I frequent .
I love the proper louvres on the bonnet I guess they are needed with the V10 under there.
Someone has put in a lot of time and skill to create this and it looks ok to me.

I'd call it a bit of a beast.

p.s. it said V10 but not which one that is my speculation, a big lump..

Interesting

Think it might be a one off

Never seen a GTN with a Max rear

I’m guessing there is some special history to the car

That front panels nasty.... sick2

I think this is the one with the BMW M5 engine that's been knocking around in bits for a long time

The back looks wrong to me as well, the windows aren't quite right and the number plate is wrong
How it's got a 2009 registration is weird...

Good find Martin and it ties up with Simon's comment about it being the M5 engine. The rear number plate is the give away I think.

The OP pictures seem to have vanished !
