The Elites were powered by fire pump engines from Coventry-Climax. The British Govt sent a bid out for a lightweight fire pump engine and the eventual design (called the Feather Weight) was shown at the London Motor Show and Colin Chapman was impressed. What's powering this car is a version of what was bolted onto Lord knows how many British fire trucks.
