The engine is a German Ford V-6, known as the "Cologne" engine. I'm not familiar with all the varieties of Ford cars, so I'm not sure which US car has the engine in it. It might be the Capri. In the

Nope. No TVRs have ever been mid-engine (with the engine behind the driver). It could be argued that they are front mid-engine because the weight dist. is usually 50/50, except for the V8 engined ca
