ELDEN MK8 - 001

This is Tony Brise,s Elden Mk 8 chassis - 001 - Tony Brise won something like 25 races with this car in 1971 --------------- I purchased the Elden as great investment back a few years ago and because I knew Tony, (I used to go into his dads place in Dartford back in the sixties for a few Karting bits ) - in fact I first caught sight of a Seven outside his place when I was around 12 years old - think something clicked there at the time !!!!!!!! made over 2500 Tigers since then !!!!!! later when Tony was with Graham Hill I used to chat to him in our squash Club (Welling - Kent) - it was a very sad loss to us all in the plane crash with Graham - in my opinion he was the next James Hunt. You might know that since I have owned the car there has been a great hardback book published "The Lost Generation" by David Tremayne about the tragic lives of rising British F1 stars - Tony Brise - Roger Williamson - Tom Pryce - 3rd of the book of course is to Tony's story. Page 37 of the book GREAT double spread of Tony in the Elden MK8 at Brands -page 41 in the book shows a great front cover of AUTOSPORT with him at Crystal Palace -- I HAVE THE ORIGINAL AUTOSPORT mag. with the car. its also also shown in its FIA papers - also have some nice original black / white photos - 1 of the car on circuit - 2 of Graham and Tony - 3 Tony in Escort "Embassy rallycross" I have not driven the car (should have - but been to busy with the Tiger races series - its getting VERY busy now) I started the car and drove it into my garages at home when it was delivered back then - its been up on blocks and turned over covered since then but not started - -this is your chance to purchase a fantastic piece of motorsport of course eligible for historic events ect.
