The other big question is which engine and gearbox? The chassis is designed for Ford engines being a Sierra/Granada based car but I'm keen to see if a BMW engine will fit. I think an M30 might look good under the bonnet, but I have lots to do before finalising on the engine.

Malcolm Platts Nissan 280ZX straight 6 would look good under the bonnet - much more in keeping with the period look - and a very good engine by all accounts
