    The PRH12 (sans rear wing) at its announcement.
    The PRH12 (also listed as a Mk12) was basically the PRH9 with revised
    bodywork, notably a full-width nose, higher cockpit sides and a high
    tapering engine cover. In addition the water pipes ran externally along
    the bottom of the chassis. Three cars were built, two going to the USA
    for Formula B racing, the best result in the UK was a 3rd at Brands
    Hatch for Andy Sutcliffe who showed that given a decent driver it wasn't
    far away from the March/GRD combinations.

    One of of the three PRH15s built.
    The PRH15 looked very similar to the PRH12 although underneath things
    were a little different. For the first time the chassis was a full
    monocoque and the wheelbase was longer. One of the three cars built went
    to the USA, a works car was entered in German F3 rounds for Steve
    Farnsworth sadly in the UK results were not forthcoming and Elden would
    not produce another F3 chassis.

    The engine bay of the Elden at the Motor Racing Showboat exhibition. Interestingly Autosport showed a picture of the rear of an Elden F3 car
    in January 1974 showing a Schnitzer BMW power unit in the rear, a very
    early appearance of this engine.
