Funny, the EXACT SAME discussion just started up today over on the Jensen Forum because of this modified example....
Jensen Owners Club - Restore or Modernize
Mind you, the colors of the Jensens have always been quite more varied than our vehicles, but the bodywork and the mods to this are reminiscent of the Ring Brother's Pantera.
Interesting.
My $.02:
I prefer the classic lines. Bring the innards, performance and reliability up to modern car standards.
