Believe it or not but BMC had drawings for the BMC Sprint.
A bugeyed rear wheel drive rear engine (mini set up) on the board.
I have the article in one of my old magazines.
This would be the power unit for the 1/2 Sprite!
Engine in the boot, front wheels where the shifter should be, sit on the
rear thingy (do-hickey) and steer.
What a ride.
Maybe after the dual cowl ;)
