No argument there... As I remember it, I think Pete Brock penned
the design for the TR250K... If so, he does have "the gift" of
touching a motorhead's psyche... He also designed the Cobra Daytona
Coupe (apocryphally, on a restaurant knapkin), which more recenly
was a major influence for "look" of the Viper GT...
