Sports Car Illustrated 1958

Summing up, for the man who wants to drive his car on the street and race it on weekends and still have a chance at the hardware, the Elva Courier will be hard to beat. Admittedly some of the amenities of the full street or boulevard sports car are missing, but to the truly shriven the no-nonsense performance and maneuverability of the Courier will make up for any number of cigarette lighters, ash trays and fancy knobs.

Astronomical Odds



So in a discussion with a college friend about my obsession with sports cars
She  asked what car I might like to own -  her grandfather had Jaguars and she a had a real interest.
I mentioned that my uncles knew of an Elva Courier lying out behind a barn. 
What's an Elva Courier?
In an amazing piece of luck at the exact moment she asked  - we were by chance standing right next to my car -With five or so street driven Elva Couriers in the USA back in 1979.   The odds were really astronomicalI saw the car  all over the University of Wisconsin - Madison campus that year in the same manner you see the Thunderbird in the Movie American Graffitti - only no Susan Summers
