it is "BRAND X" it is not to be called an elva mk6 as it is not really one
of those and the car being home built and assembled from numerous components
from other manufacturers gives it a uneaque identity unto itself. but is
is saab powered and saab suspension , wheels transmission and brakes. yet
it's not a saab car either. so it must have it's own identity as the
original car wich my father constructed.
thank you very much!
chuck.

this is my H-Mod sports racer "BRAND X" it is a copy of an elva mk6
chassis #1 of 2 made. the chassis is the only elva copy recognised by
the elva registry! the body was made by beach and grady (begra) in florida
and came from the wreck of frank stark's begra sports racer in the mid 60's.
the car is saab 750GT powered. it was constructed by my father Joe Christ
and first campagined in 1967. it was a DSR with a legrand body when i
bought it back and restored it back to it's original configuration a number of
years ago. 2 more photos to follow.
