Is this an Australian creation with an imported engine like an Elfin, or is it an Australian modification of a European design such as a rebodied MG?

Carter Corvette. Built by Murray Carter as an open sports-racer and then converted to comply with Appendix K regulations to compete in the Australian GT Championship.
