George, I'm in total agreement with you and I have a really good picture of one somewhere which I'll endeavor to dig out later.

I always admired and enjoyed our AMI 8 with it's flat twin 602cc but it looked like a pile of cardboard and bent tin ducting under the lid.

Similar could be said about our Scimitar GTE with it's very useful Essex V6 under the lid, not a pretty sight but a great flexible unit.

Meantime a few great units here..
