Description:

This car was restored by the current owner in the late 80's, it was treated to a bare-frame overhaul and refurbishing in 2000 with one race meeting since. The engine is currently removed for some attention, otherwise the car is race ready.


History

Elva records show this car was delivered to Carl Haas. Subsequent history is unknown until it surfaced as the remains of an autocross special. The car was then restored to original condition in the late 80's.

Competition History

Raced extensively in Monoposto events from 1990-2000. Perenial contender for JR class trophy. Raced most often in the Mid West; some best times: Elkhart Lake 2:48's, Grattan 1:36's, Waterford Hills 1:21's. This car is well sorted with no bad habits.
