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.

Somewhere West of Laramie


It has been said that - LBC's are not good cross country vehicles.

And I agree that I have enjoyed the traditional sports car pass time -

The car seemed perfectly suited to drive from small midwest town to the next  - a real thrill and a chance to recover and walk around

But just like cross country on a motorcycle - a LBC can be a stunning way to see the West (USA)

The views are amazing - the air is  fresh - and the roads clear and the vista's large

Yes it can be uncomfortable, noisy  - but if every hour, you get out and stretch - take a few pictures
it can be more than fun

it may  even turn into an adventure -

I would have have been thrilled to drive this road in my twenties when the car was new to me - and it did feel like I was 20 yr old for a few hours

I am however recovering from the thought and action
