It looks awfully like one but that's not the answer I'm looking for.
As far as I'm aware it's not related to the Elva at all, probably just a copy of the body.  If you saw what it looks like from the rear you would believe me...

1958 Lucas-Whitehead Climax built in Canada.

(I got lucky! Never heard of it.I was looking for American Climax powered cars and came across a photo of the chassis and thought I'd investigate further......)
