i would go for the ultimate P4 , the dash of the pre-1960 is very nice
, all wood , no padding .
fit disc brakes and if you prefer the look of twin SU's go for a 105
engine and if you can live with a single carburetter a 3 litre.
roversnorth has complete 2.25 petrol engines if you want to make into
a quasi-"80"

Yes, a 90 or 105 would make a nice conversion. I also suggested to
the restorer that a 6-cylinder car was more likely to be restored. It
sounds as though the existing specification may have some sentimental
value to the owner... --Steve
