Elva Mk 3, 4 and 5
Looking at the threads, there seems to me to be a rather large hole in the Elva chassis archive. Maybe I'm just sensitive as I own a Mk4, but it would be nice to know where these cars are, and what condition they're in.
So, to start the thread, here's the details of my car: Elva Mk 4 Chassis No 100/67 Works car in '59 (Continental Motors), won class at Sebring 12 hours driven by Baptista/Tweedale/Wallace. Continued to be raced by Frank Baptista in '59. Sold late'59 to Ed Costly. Raced Sebring again in '60, finished 2nd in class. '61, sold to Dutch Orstand. Cov Climax engine swapped for Ford 1500cc (still fitted) Mid 60's: Ferrari 750 Monza engine fitted (I kid you not ) 1970 Bought by Greg Miller, of FAF Ferrari in Atlanta, for the MOnza engine, and left outside in a woodpile! Bought by Ralph Whaley in 1980, to restore. Sadly he never quite got around to starting the project. Bought by Mike Cammarata in 1986, and restoration started, albeit slowly. During the restoration Ed Costly came to view the car. Bought by me in '03, and raced infrequently in Gentlemen Drivers, Cloth Cap... etc |
