I'll be passing on the current offerings to wait for that one. That body was one of the killer lexan car bodies from my slotting youth. Many fond memories.

This looks very interesting.

Don’t know much about the Elva.

Was there many liveries it ran in?

It was initially famous in the US because McLaren used the Elva in SCCA before designing his own cars. But yes...it was used in a few series and liveries.

Liveries back then were generally pretty simple. Paint your car a bright color, put some contrasting racing stripes on it, add some numbers and some sponsor decals then your name and go racing.

How about this livery-the one from Elvis's "Spin Out" flick:

I'm building one from a Tamiya 1/24 shell.
