Just a note on the Tornado - the local LBC mechanic here in Albuquerque 
has one.  It is a swoopy looking fiberglass body on a TR3 frame.  Apparently 
the designer of the body forgot to measure the height of the carbs, as there
is a hole in the hood (bonnet) to clear the front carb.  I understand that
Tornados were quite rare.
