Nice idea.
I remember there was around the late nineties a racecup with modern racecars, but with the same driveline layout. It used a Cosworth 4 cilinder with a
2-2,5 liter capacity IIRC.
These were Wheatcroft's Formula Classic cars. Holbay 2.4 motors. I did the shocks on them

Fisher converted a Leader into something similar.
Do a search on Fisher Sprat

How about the Fiorano Type 48 Corsa Spyder

Spitfire chassis so no IVA just an MOT.
IIRC the Fisher Sprat used some of the bodywork but not the spitfire chassis (though my memory may be wrong).

I also look into designing a fourties/fifties single seater car. (Maserati 4CM or ERA)
If Im right the track of the MGB axles are about right, although getting 16" wire wheels and tyres might be a problem.
I was thinking to use Spitfire uprights with tubular A-arms and at the rear I would love to have a de Dion axle. Perhaps rescaling the design so
15" wire wheels and tyres would not look out of place.

The race car series,was run by the Wheatcrofts, chassis was by, I believe ,Bob Egglinton(apoligies if that is a mis-spelling)
He did a number of chassis/kitcars can't remember the names,but I'll dig them out
He also did a Maserati replica,which was featured in Filby's Kit Car Builder, again I'll dig out articles if anyone is interested
Ronart do a Vanwall at a horendous cost
Brooke 245 was a Renault 5 powered 50s kit.
If anyone wants more detail PM me
