The TR6 was partially designed in Germany.

I don't think wheelbase change is needed.  Take a BMW roadster platform, put in 
one of those BMW twin-cam straight sixes mounted well back, finish off with a 
body that resembles a TR6 and you have an instant winner.  Keep the engine well 
back for good mass distribution.
