Weird wedge: 1986 TVR 280i twin turbo

How plausible is the following scenario? Miami Vice TVR 280i chase car is found in Florida garage with a blown engine, next JDM fan owner swaps in a Toyota 1JZ twin turbo engine, and then car is sold to a buyer who fits a stanced wheel/tire combo so it can be shown off at the H20 festival.  This is about the only scenario that seems to make any sense as to what may have happened to this car.  Find this 1986 TVR 280i for sale in East NY, NY for $10,000 via craigslist.

1JZ Powered: 2003 Jaguar S-Type

After seeing this next project, one could imagine that if you could wrap a few coils of wire around Sir William Lyons' coffin, you could probably generate enough electricity to offset the potential costs due to Brexit.  Not that the founder of Jaguar would really care about someone putting a Toyota turbo inline-6 into a Ford DEW98 platform Jag from the Ford era... no, Sir William would be spinning in his grave because the project is such a mess.  Find this 2003 Jaguar S-Type with 1JZ power offered for $3,000 in  Mascotte, FL via craigslist.
