The Societa Valdostana Automobili (SVA), was an Italian automobile manufacturer, active in Pont-Saint-Martin from 1948 to 1951.
Despite achieving numerous victories in minor races and gaining the confidence of important drivers such as Giovanni Bracco, SVA ran into severe difficulties after Cisitalia went into receivership.
A first experiment was done with a Formula 3 car with a 500 cc (31 cu in) Moto Guzzi engine.
Later a Formula One car was built, with a 1,500 cc (92 cu in) supercharged Fiat-derived engine fueled by a mixture of petrol and alcohol.
The SVA 1500, entrusted to driver Rudi Fischer, took to the track in both the Grand Prix of San Remo and the Swiss Grand Prix in 1950, proving to be powerful and fast, but also very fragile.
