Tony sent these pics of his Riley Elf MkII. He also has a Hornet MkIII which he is restoring. He used to have one in 1975 so I guesshe's re-living his youth! Keep up the good work! 

 
  THE MINI DOCTOR - 1965 RILEY ELF Mk II

The car was bought two years ago in Great Britain by a man known only as "The Mini Doctor' and taken home with him to Holland. It was found rotting on an English farm and was given away! The 'Doctor'  only had to pay the trip to Holland were he lives.  At the moment the car is in a good shape after a lot of work as you can see on the photos above. It is being prepared to go this (northern) summer to the IMM in Pettenbag, Austria, and later to historic rallies like the Alpen rally or the SLS (Scheveningen Luxembourg Scheveningen). Body colour is island bleu, roof is old English white, seats and carpets - cumulus grey, engine 1330 cc, 266 cam Kent, Stage 3 head, twin Weber set up, Cooper S gearbox, straight drop gears,
Mini-lite wheels, Cooper S disc and servo, Minifins rear drums, Hydrolastic suspension, BMC rally bumpstops, full roll cage. The rest is in rally trim order like the Monte Carlo Mini from 1966 GRX55d.
  RALLYING HORNET
Fergal Mc Dermott, Ballincollig, Cork, Ireland and his racing Wolseley Hornet
These are photos of Fergal and his brother Sean in the West Cork 2000 Rally in which they had a visit to the scenery as can be seen from the left-hand wing! This was our first rally and have completed three now.

 
EXCELLENT EIRE ELF
All the way from Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland, comes this adorable 1964 Elf owned by Wendy.  She has only owned the car for six months but already it has been decorated for Christmas celebrations and attended several vintage car rallies.  The wonderful backdrop is Ballyseede Castle Hotel.

 


Riley Restoration
One from the UK, look forward to seeing the finished car.

 
James owns this Riley Elf MkII which appears to be in very original condition. 

 
Darren Gobby in England is currently restoring this Elf which looks very similar to mine! Quite a major job, with new wings and A panels, door skins, floor and a rebuilt grille.

HORNET
This Wolseley Hornet appeared on a Scottish Wolseley club page and I just had to use it as there seems to be so few Hornets in existence .

 
This Elf  was advertised for sale in the UK in December 1998.  Just 28000 miles and in excellent condition. 

Yours for just 2450 pounds!

SORRY IT'S SOLD
