Elva - The Cars, the People, the History
Elva started as a small manufacturer, but the cars built by Frank Nichols and his team in southern England quickly gained international recognition for their performance, often surpassing competitors at a lower cost. From simple chalk drawings on the workshop floor, Elva produced lightweight racing cars that attracted attention in motorsport. The company's collaboration with Porsche influenced the development of the 908, 910, and 917 models. Elva also played a key role in Bruce McLaren's early career by building the first McLaren-Elva cars, laying the foundation for his future success.
Elva's history is not only about the cars but also about the people who built, raced, and were inspired by them. This book, written by motorsport historian János Wimpffen, provides a detailed account of Elva's legacy, supported by extensive research and vivid stories.
