Here are a few British cars that come to mind. I'm sure there are more: 
Morgan 4 cyl/Morgan +8 (V8)
MGB /MGBV8 (Not imported to the USA but people convert them here and in 
the UK)
TR7/TR8
Different engined Cobras (I understand, if I'm correct, the Cobra club 
accepts replica Cobras in the same class as originals)
TVR /TVR Griffith V8 (The original car came with a 4cyl, Grifith put in 
V8s...289 up to a 427 I believe!)
     
All the above cars had identical (or pretty much so) sheet metal and 
could probably by converted to the higher HP version. I'm sure this 
affects price differently for each line.
