Hmm, the front door on the T27 reminds me of an Isetta. And what's with those un-aero three lug wheels?

I agree, Murray is a top automotive engineer. Now if car design studios, Pininfarina, Italdesign or Bertone put their 'stile', it would probably have more passion & soul.
Touches of designers, Gandini, Donckerwolke, and even Bangle could be more compelling.
