The United Kingdom is a wonderful place if you're a car enthusiast with a seemingly unlimited amount of money. Call the right number, and somebody will pick up who's capable of casting a new engine block for your pre-war Bentley. Wrapped your Ferrari around a Jaguar at Goodwood? DK Engineering. Does your McLaren F1 GTR need a new fuel cell at the same time as your Ford GT40's racing license expires? Please hold; Lanzante Motorsport is always busy.

Are you looking for the best Alfa Romeo GTA in the world? That's probably at Alfaholics. An MG about a million times better than a stock example? Frontline Developments. A Range Rover Classic that's lighter, but also electric? No problem. Perhaps a Porsche 911 that's damn near perfect? Done deal at Paul Stephens.

Now, MZR RoadSports intends to offer the same level of restoration to Datsun 240Z enthusiasts. Its restoration and upgrade process starts with a chemical stripping, and continues with a bored and stroked straight-six, a snappier five-speed gearbox, custom wheels, brakes, fuel system and an interior with a half cage. Plus, pretty much whatever you'd like. After all, that's the bread and butter of this high-end industry.
