Hmmmm, let me think - 4-speed AW71 conversion for the RBs 40th, an extra 4 cylinders in the form of a V8 for its 50th? That sounds like a good, progressive plan!
I thought that idea might amuse you Dave - as John suggested earlier, I don't suppose I'll ever run out of things to do with the RB. A 4L Toyota motor in 2030 mated to an AW71 box fitted in 2021 would be a pretty cool progression for the RB :-)
