Much like the original Elva Courier, the new
Elva will make use of parts bins of mass-produced cars. The company will
make the chassis and body, but not the engine, suspension, and other
hardware. The car will involve stripping one Mazda MX5 (Miata) of its
suspension, subframes, brakes, windshield, differential, door hardware,
and other miscellaneous parts. A few other parts may come from other
cars, like tail lights and exterior door handles. |

The UK car will utilize the Dunnell Zetec
engine, but since this engine is non-US spec, and does not conform to many
US regulations, North American cars will make use of either the Mazda
engine, with a supercharger, or the Turbocharged Ford Focus engine to
achieve similar horsepower. |

Not much, as all the body and chassis
assembly will be done. The car will need to be painted, (optionally, the
paint could be done at the factory) and the rest will be assembly of
mechanical components. |
