Hey don't discount the Triumph Herald. It's a legitimate four seater. where
do you think they got the chassis for the Spitfire?
How about taking a Herald, dropping in a 3.5 litre V/8 from a Triumph TR8
and pumping it up with the available go-fast parts? You would probably have
to use the rest of the TR8 driveline if you wanted it to live for more than
a minute or two, but anything is feasible. Right? I think that would be
cool!
