Something English? A Morris Minor perhaps? Not a lot of space in the engine bay!

Yeah has to be a Morris with a modified firewall...

The Minor was originally designed to have a flat four but it never happened.

Correction.. saw gumtree ad ...KERMIT. Those early models were prone to front subframe rail failure , so hopefully it has had strengthening added to handle that power. That being said, it would probably be capable of being driven across Bass straight to the mainland.
