Larry: the running gear- engine, trans, rearend, brakes, is the same as the
Sunbeam Alpine. Parts shouldn't be to bad. Trim and sheet metal is another
story here in the USA.
I have this daydream of finding a rust free Hillman wagon and using the
spare TIger parts I have to do a bolt in V8 swap!
I'd leave the exterior bone stock, put in a roller cam 5.0 with a 5 speed,
and go hunting for some teeny-boopers in their buzz box Accords!
