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.

Owners

Elva Courier Owners

Some of us  have owned these cars for a long time  - I have had mine for 30 years.  Lon McKinistry has owned this Courier from new in 1960 and it was actively vintage raced  -  this picture looks recent  so it may be back on the road - Lon races an Elva  100 Formula Junior.  I know him only as he appears on the Owner Club roster from the mid 1980's but we have never met personally.

 




I met several Courier owners in the US - maybe 25 out of the 100 that seem to still have these cars
- most of them on the track. 

The Hollyberry color and the white top look good on Lon's car   - one day i hope to see it in person
