Scarab Mk.1

[sammm]

Lance Reventlow's Scarab Mk. I was one of the first American Specials and also the first Scarab. It used some of the best west coast talent and inspired many other similar cars. The Mk. I used a small-block Chevy V8 in an untypical space frame chassis which made it very quick.

Saw this in the GNRS coverage and went looking for more.

That's beautiful. I'm loving 50's and 60's GT's and racers at the moment.
