pictures of riley elf race cars

hallo
is there anyone that have some pictures of old elf race cars. please put them up here,
there must be a lot off old pics from the 60 and 70 out there. even pictures of elfs that drives in historic racing today
thanks

There's this one although it's a Hornet, not an Elf, located in Ohio, USA. Was up for sale a while back.

I sooo wanted that Hornet when I saw it on Ebay

Somewhere in this forum there are at least two cars that do historic rallying, and I know that somewhere there is a link to video footage. Sorry, I can't remember where, but it's not a big forum so it should take too much finding.

thanks keep them coming
why I want pics is because I am starting a project first in my head, and maybe later in the winter I will begin building a historic racer for the track off my alf. and then it must be ready for 2012 race season. so all pics and details are welcome

A few ideas...

Well I am in the process of building one now. My big choice is do I used my restored RHD Elf or My coming soon LHD Elf.......

Any Input?

is it a track, hill climb or rally car ? what class will you drive. will you build it after fia´s apendix k. maybe we can help each other to understand that apendix k correct. any pictures ? I shall build on the grey one in my avatar

I've got quite a few pictures of motorsport Elf's and Hornets. As soon as my other PC is fixed I will post them up.

It'd have to be a pre 1966 car first off and a 998 engine.

thats correct and no problemos mine is a 65 mkII. but there is a lot more to it than that. the apendix k is 77 pages long if you download it in a pdf file and in english, I speak swedish . so there a lot off rules to go thru, like ride hight, weight, what and what not to change on the car + it must follow the appendix j
thanks for all the pics and info.
discoman looking forward to se your pics

Pics are currently on my PC which is defunct. As soon as it is repaired I will post them up.

Ok, here are some of mine.... (pics that is)








And finally here's one of my Elf "Rupert" doing the Prescott Hill Climb!

So after getting my elf I am second guessing making a race car out of it for two reasons.

1) it's condition and how rare it is (especially being a LHD)
2) I think it may just be too small to make a good race car for me as a big guy

Any thoughts??

PLEASE don't squash it like no 33 in Jase's pics

A LHD Riley is a rare thing, keep it original and you will have a very valuable and unique car. I hate to see any booted Mini go into the risky area of Racing. They are too unique to risk, particularly in the USA. Race it if you must, but keep it original.

my elf is striped out with all the race stuff
I am 6.3 and the'r is more room in it than most cars
what ever you decide to mod our restore enjoy

in my case.. I've had the damn thing for years, and cant sell it for the money I want for it. so I think why not race it instead so it comes to some use and hopefully with out crashing it

Elf Scare, any interior pics of your elf you can share, thanks!

thank's it is one peice it has 2 hook's at the fount and quick release fasteners down back of wings
and it is on a trailer jack plug. it can be removed in 5 seconds.

So now having all 3 Rileys home and in my garage I have definatley decided I don't want to make the LHD Elf a full time race car BUT I was thinking it might be kinda cool to make it a race car "dress up" but drive it on the street only. Numbers on the side of the doors, hood pins, roll bar etc. so I would have a stock Elf and a Pro Street Elf. Or should I just leave it alone....What do you think?
