I think I would say the same as Malcolm and go the simpler route.Would you be doing the work yourself John or having to employ others to do it ?
Building a single seater will be much more difficult than say an ulster as the body dictates where most of the bits will fit.
I'm building a non 7 vintage special from scratch now and I'm an engineer with a reasonable workshop and it's hard work this way,and time consuming too. Like trying to gain an extra inch or so in the cockpit because now the body is made feels it a bit tight. Or where and how to do the accelerator pedal and work comfortably.
You would also have to consider where or who you want to compete,Bert Hadley or VSCC ? they have different ideas on eligibility.
If you are really keen to go the works single seater route try phoning Rod Yates for advice,he might be able to give you some pointers in which way to progress.
I don't know what others think but cost ? £30k and 4 years to build a good car ?
