Found this on Fleabay, might be a good starting point for a car:

No you shouldn't, and no it wouldn't. They have clearly rebuilt their car with a new chassis because this one is scrap.

All there is is a shagged-out alloy monocoque - what body, uprights, engine, transaxle, rack etc etc would you use? The running gear is massively expensive for these old Sports Racers assuming that you can find any to fit....

You'd definatly need more than one or two brave pills to take that on

ditto - its a pile of (s)crap IMHO.

I know its not worth anyting, but then again it brings up the question, what is a real race car these days? This Rawlson has now been "replicated" but is still allowed to run in the "vintage" races. Does this mean that i can run my Seven in the vintage parades we have here in the Antipodes?
Only kidding of course. I was considering buying the bits and getting ahold of the drawings, but then i drank a dozen beers and figured it would be better if i finish my Eleven clone, then move onto my own mid-engine design. I've already got myself a Renault trans, Miata front uprights, Toyota 4AG, Ginetta shocks and some other bits left from the Seven build. So, i think i'll be better off starting from scratch.

Cheers,
