No info on the Elan, but I read an excerpt from his book a while back. It had me in fits of laughter a character to say the least.
Here's a link to his web site http://davidbrodie.co.uk/
If you can find the story of his mates missus being a bit promiscuous in the excerpts, it's a hoot.

Brodie's car is not to be confused with the LHD Belgian car which has appeared in this thread.
Brodie bought the car from the guys at British Vita, where it had cleaned up in the hill-climb championships.
There is a load of info about this already on this site.... somewhere.
Car is still on the missing list, until someone reinvents it.
Cheers,
Pete.

For some reason I've lost the knack of adding photos to the forum! Here is a magazine piece about the BVRT Elan... I hope!
