The Elva GT160 BMW by Fissore.
The Elva GT160 designed by Trevor Fiore at Carrozzeria Fissore. The car was extremely low – it stood just 40 inches (1 meter) high. Powered by a 1991 cc dry-sump BMW engine it was capable of a top speed of 160 mph (257 kmh). A glass-fibre version was to be made available for the UK market. In 1964 Elva was taken over by Trojan Ltd and production ceased in 1969.
The De Tomaso Vallelunga was presented as a concept car at the Turin Motor Show in 1964. De Tomaso initially intended to sell the Vallelunga project to some other car group, primarily Ford. However, no car manufacturer was interested in the purchase, so De Tomaso decided to build the car at its own expense. Production of the model was then assigned to Ghia. The design was instead the work of the Fissore bodywork.
