Go for a V8, and keep it British while you're at it:

Thought I'd jump start the list; it's been rather quiet; certainly not
like the Morgan list!
First a question about the new Mini (I'll get to content in a bit). On
the "S" version w/ the intercooler and the hood scoop. What happens if
snow packs in the scoop and it can't breathe? Does the engine stop or
will be warm enough to melt the snow? Will all the salt on the roads
corrode the intercooler??
Just some burning questions for you Thermal engineers (Grasshopper).
Now to content. Anybody contemplate transplanting a new Mini S engine
into a Spridget and making it front wheel drive?? Frank??? Peter???
could be another SOS meeting!
