    1963 Works Elfin Monocoque Transporter

    I stamped the drawbar and tidied up the Factory Elfin Monocoque Trailer in order to go from Club Reg to full registration this week. It definitely benefited from a new alloy trailer plug and socket!

    Yes, but it would be pretty gutless as the original motor is only a 3.2 amp unit.
