Great work and a lovely car. Is the car small inside or would a powerfully built Director type fit with comfort?

That’s completely awesome. May I suggest filling the boot with a lead/concrete mix. And always check the weather forecast before driving it. 500 bhp per tonne is going to take some taming.
Beautiful job - the engineering looks cool

That's fantastic!
The TR4a is such a looker... must be a riot!

Gives me a longing for the V8-converted (crate Rover 4.0) MGB Roadster that my dad sold a year ago. That was only probably 250bhp/ton but the sound was incredible.

Oh my god! 😎. I am a Triumph man and I have a V8 open top and you have just created the ultimate combo. Wow!
If you could make it to Goodwood in May I think you would have 1,000 adoring fans for the car.

Epic. Appropriate board nick OP and impeccable taste. Big engine plus small car = winning.
