Front engine 356?
 
Am I seeing things, or does this 356 have an engine mounted up front? Anyone have any other thoughts about what is going on under that front bonnet?

2 engines, like a Citroen 2-Chevaux Sahara?

Dunno, but I dig those seats.

The pic of the "front engine" is not of that car (note the location of the mirror etc.). The car is also a long way from 1952.

Phil

That engine is also water cooled.

You'd be mad to buy it... That primer would be hiding a lot of tin worm and the chassis would look like lace.

Shipping from Tokyo could be a deal breaker. Heck, finding someone in Tokyo to inspect it could be a challenge.

If you go to the guy's other auctions, you can see that the one front motor photo is from a 68' Lanca.

There are front engined V8 powered custom body work on a tube frame "356's" out there. They look cool, capture a certain style that no one ever made(huge wheel flares), but are not 356's.
