    I owned a Griffith 400 271 Hi-Po in 1966. It had an even shorter wheelbase 88.5 I believe, and 185 x 15" tires. Fast , but scary handling. A lot of power but not enough tire. Interior was way tighter than my FFR roadster. I don't think there would be enough demand today, but I could be wrong?

    I recall seeing them advertised in all the sports car magazines in the '60s. It looked like a great idea then. Watching them at the Goodwood Festival of Speed makes them look pretty appealing. That might not be enough exposure to create a market. It's an interesting idea.
