Another Elfin 400 (Oz big banger sports racer)

[Dave B]

My third, and final, Elfin 400 is my take on chassis "BB662" which I watched Frank Matich drive to victory in the 1966 Australian Tourist Trophy held at Longford in Tasmania. I have included a couple of pics of my other two.  They are, #2 Frank Matich's Elfin 400/Traco Olds,  #4 same car when owned by Neil Allen and referred to as the Elfin Traco Chev and #7 Bob Jane's Elfin 400 Repco.

Had great fun building these ( and the Matich SR3R and Scuderia Veloce's Ferrari 250LM and 350 Can-Am).

Thanks for looking.

Beautiful race cars. What scale are they? From a kit or scratch built?

Hi Phil, 1/24th scale from a hand carved wooden buck (by a mate) immersed in silicon and slush cast in resin with a vacform screen by me, I did make the wheels as well. I cut the 'horns' off to make #4.
