Early KVA?

[e.jostad]

I have found this GT40 Replica in a barn, and 'I'm currently trying to identify the producer. From the look of the suspension I suspect this being an early KVA, but did they make LHD kits?

It has a Small Block Chevy, and a Renault transaxle.

It is definitely an early KVA. It has the KVA fabricated trailing arm rear suspension and the complete Ford Cortina Mk3 front axle. These early chassis are not very desirable and most people chop off the front and rear sections and replace them with GTD type wishbone front and original style rear chassis parts ( which is what GTD did to develop their car from the KVA).
Mick Sollis at Southern GT has done several of these conversions.
I don't know about the LHD ones but I would guess that all that was needed was an LHD Cortina front axle setup and a reversed dash.

Jostad:
Looks like you may have found a project. Every once in a while one of these pops up and you might, depending on condition have a driver soon.
