FJ Elfin Catalina 1962 Chassis No 624
Built by Elfin Sports cars (Melbourne Australia) originally to compete as Formula Junior powered by a 1100cc Ford.
Formula Junior was a flop in Australia, so Elfin fitted a larger engine to compete the 1.5 litre national Formula.
Kevin Bartlett drove the car to victory first time out, at the Catalina Circuit, so these cars where given the 'Catalina' designation.

Brynfan Tyddyn Special
I think body panels were made by Tim Wood in or around 1957 to accommodate the Cooper / Norton setup and to streamline the nose.
He ran it at the Giants Despair hillclimb that year. It has Borrani wire wheels and a Nardi wood steering wheel and was on display in his den when I bought it around 1980 after his demise.
