Or possibly a continued discussion on the merits of modifying all existing
engines into 200 HP turbo Porshe fighters. How about throwing away the
body and the engine and hanging Sunbeam letters on a Fiero? Perhaps we
should consider a spirited examination of the benefits of V6 or V8 engines
which can be welded and bolted into Sunbeam bodies in order to destroy any
possible vestige of British engineering. We all know that the only reason
for restoring a Tiger to stock is because the owner can't afford the
necessary modifications to make it a modern, competitive street car. In
fact a stock Tiger is about as rare as a stock Harley-Davidson.
After we've followed the collective wisdom of the list regarding engine,
electrical, suspension, wheel/tire, and interior modifications or outright
changes, why not just junk the old British steel bodies and buy a kit-built
something-or-other from Taiwan. Hell, if we bolt Sunbeam Alpine on it, who
will know the difference?
In complete agreement with Tony,
John McEwen
