For some people maybe. For me, the whole point of having a Porsche replica is the aircooled motor. If I wanted to go water cooled, I’d go back to the dark side with an MGA, B, or Lotus Elan. I’d take a WAG that if you could find a cheap enough donor vehicle, you could build a virtually brand new car with a body shell from Moss for what a replica costs from the big 3.
Come to think of it, I’d get my buddy in the UK to talk to his neighbor and source me a restored, 25 year old TVR with a new frame.
