1965 Elan 26R GTS Replica (Full-On TTR build)
Posted: Wed Nov 02, 2016 2:19 am
Selling this spectacular Elan race car for my customer. It is an absolutely no expenses spared, top-to-bottom TTR GTS 26R "re-creation." Over the past 4 years it has proven to be the fastest Elan in the U.S. and is as beautiful as it is fast. There are approximately 25 races now on the car and it is fully sorted and handles like a dream. A quick rundown of the highlights of the car as follows:
New TTR chassis and ultra lightweight body. Over $15,000 was spent getting the body absolutely perfect from all angles, and the underside of the car was done in "chip guard" making cleanup a breeze. Even with the extra bodywork/filler, the car still comes in at 1230 pounds.
The car has fully adjustable suspension, TTR adjustable shocks, bolt-on TTR mag wheels (including one spare), aluminum hubs, custom front anti-roll bar, Quaife LSD on alloy nose carrier, TTR rear diff stiffener, CV joint conversion (new this year), ATL cell with aluminum container, AR front calipers and NR rear calipers. All suspension is either powder coated or plated. Tires are 2 weekend old ACB10's with plenty of life left in them and there are also brand new Avon rains mounted on Minilites included.
Interior has TTR 26R fiberglass bucket seats, Willans FIA belts, Stack tach and Racetech gauges (warning lights are shift light and low oil pressure light). Ignition is MSD 6A with full fire system and custom dry sump tank. Pedal assembly is custom TTR dual circuit with balance bar.
Engine is a new-build Tony Ingram LEGAL 1600, using new Ford Motorsport block, new head casting, cassette water pump, and all new internals making in excess of 195bhp. This motor will run with (and beat) any of the so-called 200+bhp twincams out there. Transmission is 3 rail with Quaife dog ring close ratio internals, with Tilton annular throwout bearing assembly and alloy bellhousing and tailshaft housing. Exhaust is custom Jet Hot coated 4 into 1 header and exhaust system. Alloy radiator provides more than adequate cooling, all oil and brake hoses are Aeroquip steel braided, and all coolant hoses are blue silicone.
As is evident from this brief write up, this is a very, very high-spec car and I don't think there is an option that is available for an Elan that has been overlooked and not on this car. It comes with a more than adequate spares package (pads, plugs, other disposables, etc) and has run 2:11's at Watkins Glen, 1:00 flat at Lime Rock, 2:11 at VIR, 1:24 at Summit Point, 1:42 at Atlanta, 1:36 at Mosport and is fully race prepped and ready to race and win now.
Rather than posting individual pictures, a full pictorial on the car can be seen by clicking on the following link:

The pictures in the pictorial are of the original motor that Alan ran in the car and the new one shows much nicer (crinkle finish black cam cover, new carbs, new head, new front cover with cassette water pump, etc. etc, etc).
Price is $95,000 US and this is roughly 2/3 of what it cost to build this car and it is better today than when it was new. Contact Craig Chima at CC Motorsports at (330) 807-0742 or [email protected] with any questions. Car is located in Akron, OH USA
