Sunbeam Tiger with a 160 not 260 engine

My new Sunbeam Tiger has a 160 engine, which I believe is a 2.6 litre. Just wondering whether I might miss the extra power - what you reckon

or do you think it will be a vast improvement on fuel economy

The whitewall tyres are a nice touch but I see they still haven't resolved the different tracks.

The economy will increase dramatically as the starting mechanisam is missing and the high tension lead doing its job looks challenged.
I am sure once those two problems are addressed you could get big Bob to help you with a forced induction system to increase the power.

I see they have used the Alpine brakes once again.

I bet by making the fan, which is situated underneath, bigger, downforce and hence handling is dramatically increased.
