I really don't believe so. All the hallmarks that MMC have always had are still there: don't do any R and D on engine but buy in; evolve from previous known position ( OK, to an extent, Aero 8 excepted); Z-section chassis with built- on bodywork around ash frame; same front suspension; same philosphy ie low weight to power output and good torque stats
I started off with my dad's TR-engined Plus 4 and I now run a Ford -engined 4/4. OK, some things change but not the overall philosphy or the way it is translated into action

How much more 'continuity do you want?
