Steve McQueens 1953 Siata 208 S
whoooaaa
it looks similar to an italianized AC...
that's a thing of beauty...
i have serious cockpit envy:
Awesomeness.
Fun Fact: I remember reading, the Siata was the first sports car McQueen bought when he just started to earn some real money.
wowsa!
Sweetness.
Yeah. That'll do. 
Why no one does a proper Miata based Siata replica is beyond me.
The car is stunning.

One of my all time favorite cars. This one is gorgeous!
I thought I knew every hot car known to man, but I'd never heard of a Siata.
wow! That is awesome! Like a mix of a cobra and a Ferrari 166mm....
I always thought of them as more like a Cunningham, but with WAY more ass!

I wonder what the Siata's wheelbase is. Hmmm...
it's signicantly smaller than a Miata.. probably around Midget sized with it's 90in wheelbase.

Miata: 89.2" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_MX-5
Siata: 90.5" http://www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/car/?car=43967
Wow, that's pretty close! That's one kit car I'd buy for sure.
Yeah, it looks great. But what engine is in that? Is that a swapped V8?

that is an all aluminum 2.0 Fiat V8... stock from the factory, about 100hp.. in the siata.. up to 140hp. Supposedly one was built with a chrysler lump.. but all the rest had the same engine as the fiat otto vu as Siata was well versed in taking Fiat parts and turning them into beautiful cars
wait 2.0l v....8? /me boggles at the size of those cylinders.
That is bigger than the 1.5 Honda F1 V8s.
Pure sechs...
More 1950s Italian goodness
