The Scorpion Sovereign was based on the mechanical components of the Triumph Vitesse . There were three versions: The 616M and the 616MS had an overhead six - cylinder in - line engine with 1.6 l displacement, which was equipped with two or three carburetors. The 620M had a 2.0 liter engine. All vehicles had a wheelbase of 2324 mm and a track width of 1245 mm. The bodies were supplied by Williams & Prichard .
