Description
Elfin were a major racing car manufacturer in Australia between 1959 and 1980 building cars from Formula Vee to Formula 5000. This car was built in 1968 for Australian F2 which was baically the same as US Formula B. This model Elfin was one of the most successful of all the models. Fitted with an Alfa 1600 engine from new. I acquired the car 4 years ago and it has since undergone a complete restoration by leading race car engineers. The frame and every component have been rebuilt or replaced, including a new body. A new engine was built with new pistons, Carillo rods, valves, springs , cams etc. Puts out top HP (can run with the Ford Twin Cams). Hewland Mk5 gearbox also rebuilt. New Koni shocks and springs. I have raced a variety of cars over more than 50 years, including Brabham and Lotus and this is probably the nicest car to drive of all of them. Selling as retiring from racing.
History
Competed in Australian F2 (1600cc). In more recent years competed in historic competition.
