Elva was a sports car manufacturing company based in Hastings, United Kingdom. It was founded in 1955 by Frank G. Nichols. The name comes from French phrase elle va ("she goes"). After financial problems caused by the failure of the US distributor, the company was sold to Trojan in 1961, and production moved to Rye, Sussex; and again in 1966 to the main Trojan factory in Croydon.
