    Elden Mk 11 History
    EldenThe car has been in Australia for over 20 years and I have owned
    the car for the past 15+ years, it has only been raced locally within WA
    during this period. The car underwent a major rebuild in 2015 and has
    had little use since then. A series of photographs were taken during the
    course of the rebuild that shows the work that had been undertaken. (I
    will forward a selection for the advertisement)

    The car came to Australia from the Elden factory in London in the mid
    1990’s as a basket case, apparently it had been stored in a container in their yard for many years. The car was rebuilt in the late 1990’s by
    Todd Hill and Bob Jeapes and fitted with a turbocharged Nissan FJ20
    engine and the transaxle is Renault. New bodywork was also built and
    fitted to the car too.

    Peter Hampsheir, the chief designer and part owner of Elden, has
    identified the chassis as the 1974 stillborn Mk 11 Group C car and he
    has provided several engineering drawings and period photographs of the
    car from his archives.

    Currently the car runs under a CAMS 2A sports car log book, however it
    is eligible for an HTP / historic log book.

    There is an extensive range of parts that will be included with the sale including a full set of body moulds, a set of wet weather tyres and
    rims, a three transaxles plus various other bits and pieces.
