The Elva Courier was made in limited production between 1959 and 1962, with about 100 Couriers made each year. These cars were fast, well-built, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, and well-balanced.
This particular example was purchased in 1966 by Butch Gilbert as a well-used race car. He then restored the car with the intention of using it in competition. The current livery is a tribute to Huffaker Racing and its previous owner, Paul Quakenbush (Lucky Duck Racing).
Drivers from 1966 on include Butch Gilbert, Dennis Peretti, Stan Rinne, Ron Middlebrook, Stu Hockman, Sue Quackenbush, Paul Quackenbush, and Wes Abendroth.
This 1500 lb. car is powered by an enhanced 1600cc MGA engine with a 4-speed close-ratio transmission. There are disc brakes in the front and drums at the rear. it has a fiberglass body and a Quaife MGA-455 ratio limited slip differential. Added features include a complete fire system and a pressurize accusump.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2016
