Sadler-Vortex Formula Junior
- In late 1959 Bill Sadler began construction of around twelve Sadler FJ. Two of these were sold as chassis and suspension kits to Jeff Crawford and Bill Kitching, who in a joint project began simultaneously constructing two Formula Junior cars.
- The cars were initially entered as “Vortex”.
- The Vortex, differed from the Sadler factory-built cars in having the larger and superior 10” front brakes and custom alloy bodies. The frame still consisted of the Sadler built 1 1/4” steel tube semi space frame, with riveted on Aluminum body sections to form a stressed skin or semi monocoque type design. The engine and gearbox were off set to the left.
- The car was extensively raced in the circuits in Eastern Canada, initially as the Vortex FJ, later as a Sadler-Vortex, before migrating to Saskatchewan where the car raced on the Prairie Circuits until the late 1960’s.
- An extensive number of period photos, race history and entries and results list comes with the car. The car was driven at one event by Bill Sadler and carries his signature. Restoration of this well recognised Sadler-Vortex was carried out in Vancouver back in the early eighties. The car raced in the 2017 60th anniversary races at the USA, Mosport and then the UK events. The car was competitive with the Gemini Mk 2’s and Moorland FJ at UK circuits such as Donington Park, beautifully handling and its great in the wet.
- The car has been recently stripped to bare chassis and rebuilt.
- Fresh BMC A series 1098 long stroke race motor with run in time only. Twin SU 1 1/2” carburetors and fresh BMC A series straight cut CR gearbox, 10” Bi-metal alloy front drums, uprated chrome moly axles.
- A spare parts package of alternative diffs ratios, parts and wheels..
- The car will come with a new HTP. Currently the car is in New Zealand, but having previously been resident in Canada, USA, and in the UK in 2017-2019, it shouldn’t incur any duties in those countries if repatriated.
- A buyer can either outright purchase the car, or alternately there’s the option to lease to buy the car for the 70th anniversary series in New Zealand. Any lease payment would be deducted from the purchase price. Transport of the Sadler -Vortex to and around the New Zealand circuits can be organized for 1600 GBP. At close of racing I would undertake to crate the car and deliver to a freight forwarder for export.
- An exciting opportunity to purchase the prettiest of front engine FJ and race in the three events New Zealand in early 2026 (and Australia in 2027), without the worry of bringing a car over.
- Offers around 37000 GBP.

Elva 100
SOLD
- This 1959 Elva 100 Formula Junior was a real ‘barn’ find.
- The stripped down car had spent some 40 plus years in a garage attic in Tynemouth in the north east of England, having been purchased from John Warmsley in the early 1970’s.
- The car has since been restored to the original 1000cc specification with a few exceptions. The A35 engine is bored out to 998cc, has lightened and balanced moving parts, a fast road camshaft, Cooper pistons and a 12G940 cylinder head which has been modified to assist gas flow. The carburettor is Weber 45 DCOE. The engine block was pocketed to suit the head. The distributor was rebuilt by the distributor Doctor, himself and Elva owner himself. The engine was assembled by a local A series engine specialist called Green and White.
- The gearbox is an unmodified early midget /sprite ribbed box. The drop box is Elva which has been overhauled by Revival Motorsport, Elva specialists, and the car still retains an original Elva cast differential casing.
- The Brakes are all 10” drums, the front have been drilled to save weight. The car has a myriad of new parts.
- The car still requires the rev counter to be wired and the final suspension set up. The engine runs on unleaded fuel with an additive.
- The asking price is £31,000 or near offers.
- Please feel free to come and have a look or contact me for more photographs or information.
