Am I correct in thinking it is from Sweden?

Perhaps 2 more photos will bring this puzzle back to life?  ;)

It's a Peugeot! (in the background)

Does it say "Elva"?

Not an Elva. I cannot read what's on the car, but it doesn't appear to match the name of the car.

I don't know. I can find the source of the recent photos anymore. The older photo is still out there.

In the beginning I answered that it was sort of Porsche based. The only remaining source is not clear about this (or it must be and my poor knowledge of Swedish)  ;)

Anyway, I found another photo and 3 sketches

Thank you. It is now clear. It was called the Cobble Special, based on a Porsche 356

I'm not certain about the Porsche 356 part (Google translation is a bit unclear) but you've got it! Well done  :thumbsup:

Information about who and when built these two (or more??) cars would be appreciated!
