On offer here is an interesting Elva Courier Mk3 that was used as a road car for the majority of its life in the United States. In 1996, it was converted to a competition car by Elva specialist Butch Gilbert and subsequently campaigned in various HSR, VARA, and SOVREN historic events.
Its current owner is a well-respected figure in the historic racing scene and this smart little Elva joined his collection a few years ago. It's currently fitted with a race-specification 1800cc MGB engine and a four-speed straight-cut gearbox with limited-slip differential. Very well presented in yellow and blue, the car is UK road registered as ‘295 NRT’ and, following some recommissioning, this attractive example could be used for a variety of historic road sports, historic rally or touring events, track days, or even for trips to the local pub.
A full specification is available upon request, with a summary below:
- Engine: MGB, 5 main bearing, 1800cc, Weber DCOE 45, cast iron head and block
- Body: Fibreglass bodywork well presented in Yellow and Blue
- Chassis: Ladder-frame, square-section steel tubing
- Shocks: Adjustable Carrera coil-over shocks

Offered at a fraction of the cost to replicate, this represents an appealing opportunity and one that may reward closer inspection.
