What sells better, a 1961 kit car with ford 1003 engine with 50hp

OR

a 1961 kit car with a modern engine chucking out 100-150 hp?

Depends on what it is, how "original" or period the rest of it is and, of course, the price range it sells into. Some classic kit cars are becoming classics in their own right but many were never more than a just a poor quality body that left a lot to be desired even when new - so much would depend on the standard of build...

the rest of the drive train woudnt be compleatly original. ill have changed the rear axle to an anglia rear, wheels to 15x4 wires, a 4 link rear suspension, hydraulic brakes, and have done some interior work as the seat werent bolted down.

the one i have sells for £5-6000 on uk market but upto 16-20,000 euros on the european markets
