The Elfin MS8 Streamliner is a sports car, successor to the Elfin MS7, a Repco-Holden V8 powered sports racing car in which Elfin founder Garrie Cooper won the 1975 Australian Sports Car Championship, and Stuart Kostera won the 1976 Australian Tourist Trophy.
The MS8 was revealed at the 2004 Melbourne International Motor Show. It is being mentioned in the same articles as some of the greatest sports cars currently available.[2]
Sales to the UK are predicted for mid-2007. There are currently two Elfin MS8s in the UK for export evaluation[3] and an office has been set up in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.
