I've seen a picture of an Elf somewhere with a chopped roof. Doesn't look half bad! But alas, no cutting of my car!

Other way around Wink Mine is a Mk3, the others are actually MkI, MkII, MkIII, MkIV, MkV, MkVI and MkVII. Basically, the Mk3 was a model name, not a series name. Decent ones are getting thin on the ground now . . .

Ah ok... my bad Tongue Maybe using a banged up shell would work, since it would need a lot of bodywork to put right anyway. What powerplant did these Sprints get? Guessing twin carbed 1275 Cooper S motors?

I do like the idea of a Monaco as well. Something completely different and the raked windscreen looks sweet.

I think the motor requirements depended on the class requirements. Either way, a Sprint is really cool, especially a Clubby version.

Haha... No Tongue I do like a sprint, but not that much Wink
Though it does make the idea for a sprint project a little cheaper as 1100 clubmans are a lot cheaper than mk1/2s
Another two pics:
