I'll take the one on top, thanks.
Ok that green one changed my thoughts (Negatively) of a Laser. It really looks uncomfortable for the driver. Can't see how you can drive laying flat out with knees banging dash! My Miata is a luxury car in comparison! Did I mention it sounds like a lawn mower!
Better shot of seating or lying in it!

The BaT 917 replica is cool.......but $150k for something with no engine or transmission?
IDK....$150k can buy a lot of fun cars.

I think if you have $150K to drop on a roller with no engine, you are not too worried about what other fun cars you could buy -- you probably already have them.

In comments under the linked video some folks are talking about the Hardcastle and McCormick car being a Laser 917, which it was most certainly NOT. Idiots.
The Hardcastle Cayote X was actually an attractive car. While the front looked like the Lazer, the rest seemed more stylish -- by a big amount!
McLaren M6 replica, I believe. A very attractive race car IMHO.
The Coyote was based on a Manta Montage. The hero car is now owned and on display at chromecars in Germany. It is on a 1969 or later VW pan. I know two of the former owners of the car and am currently in the process of building a replica of it. My body is #1 of 2 made by Joe Penko in Canada. The molds are currently in New Mexico with their new owner. Ask me anything!

I have a friend with a Manta Montage and a Chevy V8(pretty sure) and a Porsche 915 trans. It has 4 Weber IDAs on it. He built it, including a vacuum/heat lamp table to form his own headlight covers. Smart guy.
I remember he hated driving it in the summer. The hot air from the radiator ducted up over the windshield and dumped right in his lap.
That would probably be a montage T. They made the original with the vw chassis, then the T with a tube chassis and mid-engine layout.
Mine is vw based, although the only thing left vw is the rear torsion and the VIN.
Running a 915 5-speed as well, with a subaru ej25.

OK - What are you going to do for a windshield?
Put the one in my basement on it. 
(They have new ones being made now.)
