1959 Elva 100 Formula Series Monoposto

This Elva 100/28EX Formula Junior was raced by Charlie Kolb, who won the 1960 SCCA's Formula Junior Class Championship. It was purchased by Frank Stark in 1974, who raced it continually until 2004. The current owner purchased and restored the car in 2007. He raced it on a regular basis with various organizations and historic events including: Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races, Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, and the VIR Gold Cup.

The car is powered by a BMC 1100cc with SU carburetors. It has a BMC A-type 4-speed transmission, a multi-tubular space frame chassis, and magnesium bolt-on wheels. There is a BMC rack-and-pinion steering, and Lockheed 10-inch drum brakes. The suspension is an independent setup in the front with upper wishbones, coil springs/damper units and lower single arms connected by anti-roll bars. In the rear is also an independent setup with coil spring/damper units, lower single arms, fixed-length driveshafts, and trailing radius arms. It weighs approximately 920 pounds.
