I think the OP is looking for racing cars that have been turned into road going cars. Not road going versions of the racers built by the factories for homologanisation purposes.

"Something like this." Only "like" this, unfortunately. The show was Hardcastle & McCormick and the car was a poor imitation of a McLaren M6GT on a Beetle chassis. I think they dubbed exhaust noise onto it from a decent car.
I've heard about that abomination before. Thought arn't there a few slightly more respectable M6GT replicas that use Rover V8s? That said the rear subframe was from a Renault IIRC...
