Solved NIC#760 - 1955 Elva Mk1 prototype
« on: February 20, 2017, 07:15:20 AM »
Another car which we've never had before. What is it, and what powered this car?

I think it is the first Elva, the Mk1. If so it would have had a Ford 1172 engine with the Elva ohv cylinder head.

You're absolutely correct on all counts. I'm simply amazed that it's never been a puzzle before - it was a real game-changer at the time.

One point to you.
