An archive. This is a preserved copy of the Elva Courier MkIII restoration blog written by Andy Rich, published at elvamk3.wordpress.com from 2010 to 2015. Andy has since passed away. The car’s current owner keeps his record of the restoration online here so that it is not lost.
 

Hello world!

This is my first post.  I have no idea what I am doing, yet.  My intention is to keep my friends posted on the progress of the restoration of this 1963 Elva Courier Mk3 from basketcase condition to a vintage racer.   Please let me know if anything looks amiss, because I am constantly making changes.

My name is Andy Rich.  I’m an engineer who is building a vintage race car, actually rebuilding one, which happens to have been built in the same year I was born — 1963. Coincidentally, this car is chassis number 1063.   I have been a British car restoration specialist for about 20+ years, but this is the most extensive project I have ever done.

Here are some photos of the current state of affairs:

Things are getting messy
