Mate of mine built a few shed sleepers.
Really old Nissan Sunny with a pulsar gti-r engine, and then a Mazda mx3 with a Toyota Celica GT4 engine they both went rather well.

Stripped out & caged Nova/Metro with a tuned C20XE used to be a safe bet.
Thing is that these days whenever I see a Nova/Metro I assume it's modded! Don't think there's any basic ones still in use.

That V8 sounds glorious!

The e28 M5.
Especially de-badged.
The original - and possibly best to us oldies - sleeper.
I'd love one with a 518i badge.

The MG-ZT with the old Mustang engine in, with 260bhp, the only real clue is the quad tailpipes out the back, and the noise.

Again, it's a car with 4 exhuasts, a bodykit and big wheels. It looks 'sporty'.

Vauxhall nova 1.2 merit with the C20LET?

Hardly. It looks like a big slow rover.

Base model Mk6 Fiesta 1.25 with a Supercharged 2.0 Duratec out of the ST, LSD gearbox, AP racing brakes (small diameter kit to fit under say 15 inch steelies)...go all out and it could be 380+ bhp. Can see that being a sleeper though the monstrous noise would be something of a giveaway

It has a bodykit, a rear wing, 4 exhuast pipes and 18 inch alloy wheels.
It does not look like the sort of car your mum goes shopping in.

I know its not a "sleeper" as such, but I reckon a Focus ST with a remap is the car to have.
You name it, MikeHiow has raced it and beaten it - all in a car that isn't "that" fast really. M3s, scoobys, all comprehensively beaten!

Typical "scene" car, but with a rather large engine fitted, looks slow, goes very well. Very capable car.

Something like this? 
Lol you must be kidding! Bravo to the guy with enough money to plonk a Ferrari lump into Postman Pats work horse
My sleeper would probably be the Granada with a Koenigsegg engine in it.
So far the closest seems the Maestro Turbo dropped back to look like a standard Maestro in some old beige colour. Plain wheels (no alloys) few bits of rust and the bumper part hanging off and tied on with string. Looking like it wouldn't even fetch £25.
Can you just see the look on a boy racer's face as it leaves him for dead with all his mates laughing their heads off.
