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. > **[Ford Capri, Austin-Healey 100 and Lotus Elise S1 - car designers reimagine...](https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/ford-capri-austin-healey-100-and-lotus-elise-s1-car-designers-reimagine-motoring)** > > What would happen if you lit the creative touchpapers of three elite car designers by asking them to redesign a classic model to their tastes? This doesn’t look bad. It’s just for fun though: ![http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/styles/gallery_slide/public/images/car-reviews/first-drives/legacy/redesigners-feature-002.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/8/8/882f5d28db0e9eada13d0ca208de46b24e80c860.jpeg) ![http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/styles/gallery_slide/public/images/car-reviews/first-drives/legacy/redesigners-feature-003.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/e/0/e0eace2ea2ca307ddad8523dbd0daa14f43faa84.jpeg) ![http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/styles/gallery_slide/public/images/car-reviews/first-drives/legacy/redesigners-feature-004.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/b/7/b7c45de9884c40059f93d8af779da526cf54189b.jpeg) ---

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.
