That looks like a nice car but there aren't many pictures of it or much of a description of it.

More pics here:  https://www.vintagesportscar.net/vehicles-for-sale.html (https://www.vintagesportscar.net/vehicles-for-sale.html)

Though one pic shows a Renault 'box, another shows a Hewland 'box albeit upside down when compared to how a Hewland is normally oriented.

That actually looks pretty good. I don't know the rules it races under but I would have thought they would avail themselves of fender flairs to widen the track. Also, I think the car would benefit from a larger front air dam or spoiler.

I think it looks very nice, though. There seems to be an homage to Chaparral which appeals to me!

A lot of work has gone into it that is for sure!

Good looking car, and would be a blast to drive. Car has a clear title etc etc, but can you even drive a 202 hp Twin Cam on the street? That must be a track-only engine.
