Well you can get new shells for BL Minis, MG Bs, Sprites, 1966 Mustang Fastbacks and 1969 Camaros…. A Z-cars Type R B18 or K20 conversion on a new Mini shell would almost slide in as “new”.

Otherwise its an Evo 9, Nota F1 or a PRB composite clubman (or maybe the new Bolwell).

That would be an Audi S3 (195kW 2.0 FSI Turbo, AWD), BMW 130i Sport (195kW 3.0 i6, RWD) or Mercedes-Benz C280 (140 or 150ish kW V6 something like 2.6L, RWD). :Reverend:

My answers, 1) Liberty GT - Old lady has a 06 2.5R and this is a superb car, GT would be just that bit more fun.

2) XR8 cab chasis makes me almost wet....mmmmm V8 one-tonner goodness :
#))c , drive one and you will understand , then it would get sway bars shocks and brakes .
