Does anyone know much about this car please? The first of 3 constructed by George Beavis, and based on an MG ch***is later swapped for a one-off spaceframe. Used a 4 cylinder Offy engine. About 2/3 of the original body was advertised for sale recently. Did the second car use the mechanicals? I believe the third car built (a single seater) was recently bought by Zakiras Garage for restoration.
I do know George Beavis has a Machine Shop in Vallejo CA. 405 Sutter St. 707- 649-0420 . He was at Sonoma Raceway.
The third one was on Bring a trailer and as of now the info is still up Fascinating Offy 110-Powered Project: 1957 George Beavis Special | Bring a Trailer It was bought by Zakiras garage off a Craigslist add that someone had posted a link to. The second photo that Steve lines posted with some added info CF4018WhiteSpecial80TorreyPines (tamsoldracecarsite.net)
The tube frame wouldn't be that hard to duplicate within reason. With a bit of creative license. As for the bare body shell being available and no ch***is one might have to do some serious research but it could have been rebodied possibly to fit a different cl*** and guys who built and raced specials were known to cannibalize previous versions to supply parts for a new build.
