Personally, I think that Ford-engined Hawk Ace that Nik posted is the best option I've ever seen. It really hits all the right bells. The Triumph would come a reasonably close second, with the added advantage of cost and overdrive options etc. I personally wouldn't use a BMW engine - I'd buy a Z4 instead. I don't want my classic fun sportscars to purr like an electronically-controlled modern which I can't fix without a laptop.
