This 1959 Elva Courier is said to have been sold new in Northern California as a factory-built example and campaigned in SCCA events throughout the 1960s.

The car remained in the state, where it was acquired by the current owner in 1995.

A refurbishment the following year included track-focused modifications, and it was subsequently raced in CSRG events through 2019.

The car features fiberglass bodywork finished in blue with white graphics, and power comes from a replacement 1,622cc Fuel Safe fuel cell, an MGB steel billet camshaft, twin SU carburetors, an alternator, and tubular exhaust headers.

This Courier is now offered at on in Emeryville, California, with a collection of spare parts, spare wheels, CSRG logbooks, refurbishment photos, service records, literature, and a bill of sale.

Previously finished in red, the car received fiberglass repairs and filled mounting points for the bumperettes and turn signals prior to being painted blue.

It features white #43 marking...
