This looks like a Mini-based Elin from Australia.

I have no idea what that is! It's not Mini-based nor from Australia, unless my source is incorrect. It's a one-off, so there's always the chance that the builders used another chassis and called it their own. Seems to happen a lot.

1967 Craimax Special. Built by Craig Lacompte and Max Stewart it’s a two seat sports racer with a tubular steel space frame, powered by a 1962cc Alfa engine running thru an Alfa 5 speed transmission. The front suspension is fabricated A arms using coil over shocks and Riley uprights, the rear axle is a Riley 1.5 trailing arms and Panhard rod with coil overs.
The cars was raced in the early sixties in Ontario, then in Quebec by Terry Dale. It was restored in 1991 by Craig Lacompte and Don Horner who raced it for several years. Currently owned by Brad Lucas of Zurich Ont.

Yes indeed - I made the mistake of posting 2 puzzles from the same source at the same time! That's how desperate I get sometimes when I'm looking for new material.

Well solved and the point is added to your total.
