Car articles about Elva by year
In the late 1950s, there were a lot of people in England, mostly young people, who felt called to become car manufacturers. One of them was Frank Nichols, who founded the Elva company. The name was an original derivation from the French: "Elle va", she goes. With the Elva Courier, Nichols created a progressive sports car that was successful both on the road and on the race track.
In the club races that were so popular in the USA at the beginning of the sixties, small-series English models increasingly began to overtake the Speedsters and Spyders from Porsche. German workmanship made the cars from Zuffenhausen reliable, but also heavy. A German engine in an English chassis therefore seemed to be the perfect combination for the American weekend racers. This article tells the short but fierce success story of the Elva Mark VII with a Porsche engine.
