This came through a local Salt Lake area used car listing.

https://cars.ksl.com/listing/10550776

Comes equipped with the very rare V4 motor.  And looks like a lovely job 
with the wiring.  A steal at twice the price!

Well it's not how I would do it, but also BY FAR not the worst wiring I
have encountered on an otherwise clean build.  I am more concerned by the
total lack of a battery hold down.

V4?  Why would anyone want a Saab motor in a Spitfire?

In the specs the engine was labeled as a V-4, when obviously it is an 
inline 4.
