1964 Elva GT160 (Fissore)

Elva began as a sports/racing car, powered by Coventry-Climax or Ford engines. The first road-going car was produced in 1958. This was the Courier.

The 2-litre Elva-BMW GT160 was designed by Fiore of Paris and the aluminium coachwork was by Fissore of Turin. The car was extremely low - it stood just 40 inches (1 meter) high. Powered by a 1991 cc dry-sump BMW engine it was capable of a top speed of 160 mph (257 kmh). A glass-fibre version was to be made available for the UK market.

In 1964 Elva was taken over by Trojan Ltd. and production ceased in 1969.

В 1964 году на свет появился еще один интернациональный проект — среднемоторное купе Fissore Elva BMW 160GT. Британская компания Elva, занимавшаяся выпуском легких гоночных и спортивных автомобилей заказала у Fissore маленькое среднемоторное купе с 4-цилиндровым 2-литровым двигателем BMW. Однако планы по серийному производству так и не были реализованы. Всего было собрано три таких прототипа.
