The Iconic Sale at Race Retro 20th-22nd February 2026

42 The Iconic Sale at Race Retro 2026 Cars On offer here is an interesting Elva Courier Mk3 that was used as a road car for the majority of its life in the United States. In 1996, it was converted to a competition car by Elva specialist Butch Gilbert and subsequently campaigned in various HSR, VARA, and SOVREN historic events. Its current owner is a well-respected figure in the historic racing scene and this smart little Elva joined his collection a few years ago. It’s currently fitted with a race-specification 1,800cc MG B engine and a 4-speed straight-cut gearbox with limited-slip differential. Very well presented in yellow and blue, the car is UK road registered as 295 NRT and, following some recommissioning, this attractive example could be used for a variety of historic road sports, historic rally or touring events, track days, or even for trips to the local pub. A full specification is available upon request, with a summary below: • Engine: MG B, five main bearing, 1,800cc, Weber DCOE 45, cast iron head and block • Body: Fibreglass bodywork well presented in yellow and blue • Chassis: Ladder-frame, square-section steel tubing • Shocks: Adjustable Carrera coil-over shocks • Brakes: TR6 discs and calipers (front), MG B drums (rear) • Wheels: 13” Minators in silver • Gearbox: MG A close-ratio 4-speed, three-synchro, straight-cut • Differential: Quaife limited-slip differential Offered at a fraction of the cost to replicate, this represents an appealing opportunity and one that may reward closer inspection. A fine example of the third-generation of Elva’s ubiquitous Courier. Successfully campaigned in the US for many years and now part of a UK Collection.
