1969 Riley Elf Mark 3

Description

Up for sale is a RARE Right-hand drive 1969 Riley Elf from a private collection. The Riley Elf is the sister car to the Austin Mini/Mini Cooper, as the entire drivetrain and most body panels are the same, with minor styling changes. This is an original New Zealand import, with a Clean California title and registration in hand (current tags until October 2017). The car has mostly original paint and upholstery, apart from the front 2 seats recovered with non-original material in wonderful condition. Chrome on the car is beautiful and very presentable. The undercarriage is in the best condition for its age – there is no rust on the car, except for a small area on the corner of the hood (bonnet) in the front.

The car runs and drives like a charm. The engine and transmission have been fully rebuilt – 998cc with the bigger 1275 head for better breathing mated, to a 4-speed all-synchro gearbox. Twin HS2 carbs with K&N filters. Alloy Valve cover. KAD short shifter. 5 Cosmic mag wheels with Yokohama A008s with 95% tread left. Drum brakes all around and stop great and straight, no pulling. Runs cool, great oil pressure (see videos below). All gauges work as they should. The hydrolastic suspension has absolutely no leaks, and provides a very comfortable ride.

The car comes with an extra grille, and extra taillamps and front side marker lamps as pictured. Comes with Riley Elf/Wolsely Hornet Manual as well.

Comes in “as is” condition with no warranties. Buyer is responsible for payment of a $1,000 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of auction end, and for shipping/local pickup.
