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.
 

Beginning with eBay » A Car of many colors

How many colors can you count?

The body showed evidence of having been at least 3 different colors, a dark metallic blue most recently, a medium blue and at the beginning it was British Racing Green, which is what it will be again. In between, there are layers of primer, one is white and one is the reddish-brown typical of lacquer primers of the 1970s and 80s.
