	Anything made of fibreglass should be good. What about a four wheeled Bond Bug. It must be fairly aerodynamic with a very light body? Or a Scimitar SS1 if you need more space to install the batteries/motors? Or for ultimate weight saving, go for a Morgan or Lotus 7.

	I've just remembered that I saw this electric VW Beetle drag car earlier in the year. I know it's not the same sort of racing, but check out their web site. www.currentracing.co.uk/ Black Current III is currently the world's quickest electric car & runs the 1/4 mile in a little over 9.5 seconds @ a tad under 135mph Volkslife 2015 @ Shakespeare County Raceway by Kevin Day, on Flickr Volkslife 2015 @ Shakespeare County Raceway by Kevin Day, on Flickr Volkslife 2015 @ Shakespeare County Raceway by Kevin Day, on Flickr

	Biased here but a Lotus Elite ?, light, wedgey, and projects can still be had cheap, www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lotus-Elite-Project-Spares-or-Repair-/252155200853?hash=item3ab59f0555:g:sCcAAOSw5ZBWMeJW i think values are about to rise though. Tiny boot though so not a lot of room for batteries unless the rear seat area is used.
