Formula Junior was just starting out in March, 1960. In Bob Norton's photos we see some of the first of these cars to compete in southern California. |

If the Stanguellini exemplified
classic Italian styling, this Elva represents early British efforts in
F-Jr.
Lower, lighter, and better handling than the Italian car, BMC powered Elvas lacked horsepower compared to the Stanguellinis' highly-modified 1100 cc.Fiat engines. |
| French F-Jr efforts fell
far short of their Italian and British rivals.
Not even Dr. Bill Molle could coax much speed out of this front wheel drive car. It was powered by a Panhard opposed-twin motor and finished well behind the leaders. |
