1959 Elva 100 Formula Series Monoposto

In addition to SCCA racing in the United States, Elvas competed in the Formula Junior races from 1958 through to 1963. The Formula Junior series was designed to give young drivers an opportunity to compete on a level playing field.

During its production lifespan, approximately 75 examples of the Elva 100 Formula Juniors were produced.

This Elva 100 FJ, with chassis number A200 L110-684, has a long racing history in the United States and has been restored retaining much of its originality. Power is from a 994cc BMC-derived racing engine and is equipped with twin SU carburetors, which retain their original Rytune intake manifolds, as well as Rytune velocity stacks. The car rides on the rare Elva 15-inch magnesium racing wheels and has its original steering wheel. It has its complete VCSSA logbook and FIA HTP papers.

In 2012, this car was offered for sale at the Monaco sale presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for €25.000-€32.000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of €36.400 inclusive of the buyer's premium.
