I like this because it reminds me of the Mars Direct 3.0 Mini-Starship:


justacarguy.blogspot.com: Agustín Aguaviva's v8 Ford rear engined midget was a revolutionary design, so small that in order to sit in the Midget's seat, he had to remove the steering wheel. An engineering feat because at this time, only the Union cars were designed as rear-engined race cars

A Mini-Auto Union ....in Argentina. No doubt after WWII, the same time similar sized belly tankers were running on the Salt Flats.
