Elva was founded by Frank G. Nichols in 1955.
Elva was originally located in Hastings, United Kingdom.
They produced sports cars.
The original model used Standard front suspension and Ford Anglia rear axle with an overhead valve conversion of a Ford 10 engine. This went through various changes up to the 1958 Mark IV with 1100 cc Coventry-Climax engine and independent rear suspension with inboard brakes.
In 1961, Elva was sold to Trojan.
Production moved to Rye, Sussex; and again in 1966 to the main Trojan factory in Croydon. Production ended in 1968.
