Looks like a Triumph spitfire with a severe underbite.

An ugly one at that !

They actually sound good courtesy of a 2.5 litre V8 designed by Edward Turner who is more famous for designing the classic Triumph parallel twin motorbike engine.

"Handles like a go-cart"

Oh, I noticed the seller describes the handling as that of a go-cart. Er, I think not.

Admittedly the last time I drove one was about 15 years ago, but it handled like an MGB with hemorrhoids.
