1966 Riley Elf MKII For Sale

This truly splendid Elf has had just three owners from new who’ve amassed a modest 60, 000 miles between them. Stored for 16 years from 1976, it has since been completely but sympathetically refurbished, during which process the shell was taken back to bare metal and refinished in its original livery of Old English White over Cumberland Green, while the original green all-leather interior was completely re-Connollised. The accompanying original bill of sale from Miller & Son of Crewkerne, Somerset shows the 1966 purchase price to have been £638, but many thousands have more recently been absorbed in bringing the Riley up to its near concours condition. Along the way it has been treated to £4, 000 worth of upgrades, including refurbished Downton twin SU carburettors and inlet manifold, and a Maniflow stainless steel exhaust system.

The car also benefits from new Cooper S front brake discs and rides on new rose petal 10 inch wheels shod with equally new tyres. Already a prize winner at Mini shows, ‘KYA 306D’ has to be the best available ‘excellent’ bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, A Series engine and manual gearbox. It is offered complete with a full photographic record of the restoration

A rare and attractive pocket rocket that’s fully ready for a new owner to enjoy.
