Which 'modernized classic - car and engine combination?

[g7jhp]

I'm always interested in "modernized classics" and liked the look of the MG Abingdon Edition which was previously featured on Pistoheads and appeared on Top Gear this Sunday.



Power: 304bhp
Power to weight: 339 bhp / tonne

I didn't realise it was a "2015 Mazda 2.5 litre 4 cylinder aluminium engine".



Got me thinking.

Eagle have done the E-type.
Singer have done the 911.

Which classic would you like modernize and which engine would you stick in it?

In an unlimited cost sort of way I'd like to put a 63 6.2 V8 AMG engine in an original SL Gullwing - obviously doing up the brakes and suspension..drivetrain etc. I think Leno was going to put a SLS 6.2 into his Gullwing but instead left it standard.

Also, the maser-fezza-Alfa 4.7 V8 from the 8c into a GT Junior body..

There is/was a 300 SL gullwing at Mercedes Benz World with a modern AMG engine.

Not sure if it was the same as this one. Wheels aren't to my taste, but would be an easy change.

Which new engine would best suit a 205 GTi?
