David McMullan was the very effective sales manager for ELVA in the Trojan days and made me chuckle when he recently wrote "I would provide a demonstration car to an often jet lagged potential client. Drive them up Purley Way in my very hot Courier, then head into a local housing estate flat out in third flinging that machine all over the place ... I remember most people changed colour! I had just finished two years pro kart racing at Nassau etc., for Peter Agg. When you race karts at the top end, you take no prisoners!!" Top man.
Ironically, when the Courier production finally stopped, David had actually provided Trojan with a very full order book, but Peter Agg had concerns relating to supply issues, particularly with the MGB power units, and of course there was the distraction of the prestigious ELVA association with the Bruce McLaren Racing Team.
Hindsight a wonderful thing, but a shame that the Courier was unceremoniously ditched, as many influential people believe that a modern ELVA two-seater performance road/track car would still find enthusiastic customers. We are working on it!
Still thinking of that special Poster/Print then order soon for an extra happy Christmas?
