When did I say that V6s are better than V8s you moron?

Moron? A battle of wits with an unarmed man. How tedious!

You're quite interesting and knowledgeable on certain subjects, but your inability to admit when you're wrong is really quite sad.

O' the irony... to celebrated 50 years of Great British sportscar heritage they are making 50 replicas with a Jap engine in it and this is from a heritage company... It could not be more wrong if they tried.

And the want what.... £50,000 for it ???? Someone has lost the plot... As others have said an MX5 in Grand Dads Clothes. Now if it had at least a 260bhp ford duratec engine. 6x Speed gear box. Independent suspension with all British Build and components it would at least be a celebration of something British or as close as possible.

With an MX5 engine it will cost £50k to buy and only £4-6k once off the forecourt

Personally for that money I would rather have a Lotus Exige, Elise and have money left over for a well sorted out original MGB GT as a second car.

Come to think about it if you want some thing classic, original, with modern specs and built in Great Britain I would spend my money on a Morgan every time.... And you won't lose much in owning one.

Or for something outside the box..... What about a Ginetta G40?

The Mazda L engine and the Ford Duratec engine are...the same engine.

Numpty.

The LE50 looks like it could be a fun machine.

Have they actually sold one?
