Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Silver painted wire wheels, Blockley tires, full width windscreen, leather rim steering wheel, Tilton brake pedal assembly, two dual choke Weber carburetors.

Condition

OHV Ford powered but comes with an appropriate type 1,098cc Coventry Climax. Sound recent repaint, older upholstery and even older chassis with dirt and leaves in its corners. Headlight covers are missing. The engine and chassis are race-used, oily and road dirty. Run hard and given lipstick for the auction.

Market commentary

Without any history at other than being discovered in boxes and restored in 2010 selling this Elva was always going to be difficult, as it proved to be. A neglected old thing, if there was money for it anywhere in Paris it should be been taken with alacrity and gratitude.
