An ultra light 2 seat Coupe, debuting at the 1957 London Earls Court, Motor Show.
The Elite's most distinctive feature was its highly innovative fiberglass monocoque construction, in which a stressed-skin unibody replaced the previously separate chassis and body components. the Elite also used this glass-reinforced plastic material for the entire load-bearing structure of the car, though the front of the monocoque incorporated a steel subframe supporting the engine and front suspension, and there was a hoop at the windscreen for mounting door hinges and jacking the car up.
The first 250 bodies were produced by Maximar Mouldings at Pulborough, Sussex but production problems caused numerous early problems, until manufacture was handed over to Bristol Aeroplane Company

This car raced at Silverstone in the RAC Tourist Trophy Race for Pre-1963 Sportscars
