This is a race car, not a street car. As such, it is hard to compare with street cars and it is in 'race ready' condition. It's modified in the style of an Elan 26R, featuring a Tony Thompson Racing body shell, Modsports chassis, and a 1.6-liter twin-cam inline-four engine. It includes racing-specific modifications like a dog box transmission, limited-slip differential, and safety equipment.
