Elf for sale - in kit form !

"I have one too many projects in my garage so something has to go ! In 2009 I bought a Riley Elf project, this was not a rusty wreck but a refurbished shell which someone had eventually planned to use for road rallies.
Basically I have a large pile of bits so lets start with the larger pieces first:
The shell is a 1967 Mk3 Riley Elf complete with V5 registered in my name. The previous owner replaced any rusty panels and painted it grey with a cream roof. The doors, bonnet and boot are with the car but are not painted although I have the paint. I have stripped the underseal in the key places under the car - sills, heel board etc to check the condition and they are very sound indeed and the heel board is nice and shiny metal under the underseal.
All of the glass is with the car and fitted and it is full of parts:
wiring loom, lights, steering column and wheel, front subframe (mint), one very rusty rear subframe with radius arms but there is also a mint rear subframe, rear roll cage.
This is an ideal basis for the rebuild of a rusty Elf or a Mini as all of the parts are interchangeable.
The car was last on the road in 1991 and spent most of its life in the Manchester area, I have obtained the details of all of the previous owners from the DVLA. "

Wow, what a great project. I would buy it in an instant, but I am in California and the car is in the UK. Some lucky person will get a cracking deal.

Yeah, I'm with Michael on this one. One more that got away. I need to put pontoons on my trailer. Sigh....

I agree with Michael and Brian, wish this one was in North America. Looks like a great project.

Watcha think guys? We could go in on it three ways and split the shipping cost.

I'm an American "over here" in the UK. I have been looking up shipping costs and companies and it's not that much. I already have my hornet and two other mini's coming back with me when I leave. When time get's closer, I think that I'm gonna bring back an elf as well. If you want quotes for shipping, I can give you the companies I've dealt with so far. Food for though...

If you fill a container it's cheaper again.need plenty of foam! Fork lift them in sideways and in two tiers and there won't be any left iin the UK
