An interesting exercise by Autocar:

Ford Capri, Austin-Healey 100 and Lotus Elise S1 - car designers reimagine the motoring classics

We asked designers from Nissan, Jaguar and Morgan to pick a car from another marque (to eliminate any implied ‘design direction’ for their own brand) and to produce their own personal reinterpretation of it.

This doesn’t look bad. It’s just for fun though:

In regards to the Austin Healey re design-:iobarf::iobarf::iobarf::iobarf::iobarf::iobarf::iobarf: Trying to improve on the looks of an Austin Healey 100/3000 is like trying to improve Emily Ratajkowski’s amazing body.
