Default Not so easy for you.

I'd guess being in the United States narrows your choices somewhat. I've been driven in a 401 or 403, don't remember which, that had a Datsun 260Z engine in it. It just flew. Of course nothing, absolutely nothing compares to a Bristol Six on song. I remember in my 401, driving through the Mersey tunnel as I often did, windows down, just using the gearbox. I'll never forget that sound. But lovely as it was, I was always aware that if I broke the engine, I was unlikely to be able to afford a rebuild.
