I vote for BRG, white roof & stripes on the bonnet, works arches & Mini Light 6X10 wheels with A032R. Turbo Metro engine - or twinky with straight cut box & LSD. Gutted interior, 1/2 cage, no rear seat, no ICE - not that you would hear it anyway!

It would have a marcos shell lightened and converted to a chromoly spaceframe with minimal weight being the name of the game. Around 450 kilos dry would be a good start.
The engine is 1293 bimmer twinky turbo running a motec ecu and full datalogging. Itd push about 250 hp (can be done).
With force racing 13 inch wheels and race slicks and the biggest brakes KAD do. front suspension would be chromoly and fully adjustable. Rear suspension is rear discs and has a custom beam axle conversion and custom rear trailing arms. Itd also be running coilovers.
The bodywork would be in bare carbon. with perspex windows and lightened as much as possible.

I think you have hit the nail on the head there! Something tells me you fall asleep thinking of all this on a daily basis.
