New build LeRhones - interested?

I know the topic comes up now and again, but I've started at a new engineering company that has a lot of engine design experience. The boss is intrigued by the idea of building LeRhones (or other engines). He has asked me to find out two things:

1. Are there any potential buyers for such an engine?
2. Can they be built at a reasonable cost?

Let me know if you are interested in a new build LeRhone and if so, what do you see as a 'reasonable' cost? Remembering that these engines do have a lot of parts and then there is liability insurance to be paid for...

Feel free to offers your opinions if you think it's a dumb idea as well

Nick - if you have the drawings for a Bentley, let me know!
