Elva Porsche
In 1963 Frank Nichols and Carl Haas persuaded Dr Ferry Porsche to supply engines to Elva. The 1.7 liter dohc flat four provided the power to a modified Mk7 enough so that it won its inaugural race at Elkhart Lake Road America. Even pitted against much more powerful Ferraris and Cobras it shows the superior chassis of Elva only needed the proper engine to succeed. Porsche eventually bought a chassis for them selves to develop there 8 cylinder cars.
