Don't know if it fits, but in a day dreaming mode, I often figured that the
250HP inline 6's of today, combined with a new tube frame and modern race
inspired suspension, TR6 body tub with much wider composite outer panels,
and a completely updated interior would produce a mighty supercar at about
2200 lbs.
