History
After producing a series of sports racers and formula junior cars, many of which had success in the
US it was suggested that Elva Engineering should produce a road-going 'sports racer' and the prototype
Elva Courier was built in early 1958.
The Courier was designed with a ladder frame type chassis. It had to be a sports car that was
simple to manufacture, be competitive on the track, and easy to maintain or repair. The pretty
prototype aluminium bodywork was built around the chassis but production cars used 'grp' bodywork
moulded from the original.
This car was purchased from a Florida owner in the early 80's
