1959 Elva 100 Formula Series news, pictures, and information | ||
| Tweet | ||
The Elva 100 was created by Frank Nichols of the United Kingdom. He adapted the very capable racer with a BMC A-Series engine. Some versions were given a two-stroke DKW engine specially tuned by Gerhard Mitter of Germany. This was the first mass-produced Formula Junior racer from Britain. Other marques soon followed such as Lotus with their impressive Lotus 18 F1/F2 car. Lotus fitted the chassis with a 1100 cc Ford Anglia engine.
During this time, the close of the 1950's, it was still popular to have the engine in the front of the vehicle.
