Hi Garrett

I'd bet a Light Eight 900 fitted with a V-12 would be a ball to drive, blisteringly fast, on par with a Duesenberg SSJ. Such a model could have been very good for their reputation just as the 734 Speedsters were.

It doesn't take a lot of production of a car like that in an exclusive few high-profile hands to boost a luxury maker's image. Auburn got a lot of mileage out of it with their Twelves and the boat-tailed speedsters.
