 I personally like the J-H's styling a lot. I am also a big fan of the 9xx motors too. That's why 19015 still has the stock Lotus powerplant.

I dislike butcher swaps as well, there are far too many of them and I also think anyone who puts an automatic tranny in a British sports car does not deserve to own one.

I also would not dream of chopping up a pristine car to build things like the Abomination (my rotary Spitfire). But given a car that would not be worth restoring and would wind up as sardine cans and disposable razors otherwise, I see no problem with repowering it in order to at least partially save it.
