Elva Courier - It lives

The car is ready to run down the road. There is a Porsche club event at my friend Tim's shop

They saw it disassembled and now a year later we will drive it away.

It still needs new seat and door covers

The suspension is dialed in - 49/51 weight distribution with me in the car - 1400 lbs empty 1/2 tank of race gas.

Removable Roll Bar

The engine runs great - definitely smoother and more rev able
(Aluminum Flywheel - wedged nitrided crank - Pauter rods - JE Pistons)

I added a few rare factory brochures that I have in possession-

There have been some opinions shared here that the Elva was not delivered as a well completed and outfitted car with shiny paint - The period brochures indicate quite a different story.

In fact my car is the lead in this brochure. It is the last of the Mark 2 cars - assembled by Trojan with bodywork that wraps around to the outboard frame and not brought to flange and bolted. and it is the last left hand drive cars.


More pictures tomorrow when it is on the road.
 
I remember these cars when they were new. Not many around even then. Still a very good looking car.

There was an Elva this weekend at the autocross I ran. Not sure what model.

It ~IS~.

gor. I'd be REALLY reluctant to be thrutchin' that around a race course at this point in its existence. There weren't enough of 'em to START with!!! :shocked:
 
Holy #@$% batman - I feel all squishy inside
 
It should be, if it's in original trim.
