Here, here, I have a candy-ass '74 Midget and love it. I also have a
girlie-man Pink Mk II so let's watch it! :-P
As for Spridgets on the highway, even though you can cruise at highway
speeds, they ain't highway cars and I've driven them upwards of 13 hours
straight on highways.
I'm not a mind reader so I can't speculate what the powers that be would
have plopped (that's an engineering term) into the Bugeye if there were
options on the displacement of the A series available in 1958, but I
thought the reason the reasons for going to more hp on the production
cars was due to the increasing curb weights.
And one last thing, let's leave Orson Welles out of this.
