I've based the design on numerous modern photos of Helicas in museums and some that are still road-worthy or restored to functionality, some historical photos and videos, and Leyat's original patent. Leyat built several versions of the Helica, including open top coupes and enclosed sedans. He built as many as 50 and sold 23 of them. My implementation takes features from several of the cars so it's true to the design but doesn't represent any one car. I've also taken some liberties with some of the mechanical elements such as the steering and brake cable mechanisms.
