Very cool. I see you are from Vt, I'm in Lake George, NY, where do you run it ?
I am not far from you, just off Rt103 south of Rutland, right near the trestle if you are familiar with that on the way to Ludlow.
We have a hillclimb series here running Bikes and cars up the accessed roads in state parks and ski areas.
We also rent the gocart track SLMP, Saint Laurence motorsport track up in Morristown, NY. That is where the picture in my first post was shot.
One issue I have run into with many clubs running road courses here in the north east are they do not want fast single seaters running with them. It does not fit in anywhere for racing. I have been giving thought to building a full fender body for it. Not an easy task to incorporate the existing under car aerodynamics into a full fender car. J
For well more than a decade I have been searching for some molds for the Elva Mk7 body. There are more than one set out there.
Recently I got lucky in my search to find someone who will build a body and I have ordered a set which I should have in hand end of October.
I will build a new chassis and utilize most all of the components from the existing car. The Elva Mk7 was produced in 1963-64 and commonly sell today at prices from $75,000 to 200,000+, they were powered at first by 1600 Twin cam Fords, then commonly BMW 1600 as well as 19 cars made with the 4 cam 4cyl Porsche. In 1965 the 2.0 BMW was common and the car stretched for larger tires, this was called the Mk8.
Mine will be 300+ Hp sub 900# weight. Modern aero underbody. The chassis will be up to current safety and performance standards.
When the body arrives I will undertake the final design drawing and can start the fabrication.
Here is what an Elva Mk7 looks like,
