What "digitally remastered" classic would you like to own?
Discussion
So, we have established (or some of us have anyway) that modern cars have lost their elegance and are largely pretty boring to drive. So I guess the perfect car might be a "classic" with a few modern upgrades i.e. modern levels of performance, a brake upgrade and some steering and suspension tweaks. So, what "digitally remastered" classic would you most like to own? There are a few companies already doing this: Eagle E-Types, Singer 911s and I've also seen some sympathetically upgraded MGBs and Jensen Interceptors too.
The Interceptor with the GM V8 appeals to me a great deal but I think for me, no modern saloon matches the elegance of a MkII Jag. Ian Callum's car is possibly a bit OTT for me but a MkII that looks "classic" with possibly the V6 out of the F-Type and suspension, steering and braking upgrades to match would possibly be my ideal car.
What would you choose?

I have what is probably my ultimate classic. A mk1 escort with a 330 bhp cosworth yb, 5 speed t5 gearbox, 6 linked with bilstiens all round and decent brakes. Looks a million pounds and goes like greased diarrhoea. It will do for me untill I can afford one of those porsche 904 gts on the previous page. That is sex on wheels.
