Description of 1968 Other Makes Elf Mark III |
I am selling my 68 Riley Elf MkIII. It now resides in southern New Jersey.
I was hoping to get a Heritage Certificate from the UK from which I could restore it back to documented specs, but alas....the British Heritage people responded by telling me that the car was a "CKD"(complete knock down) car and was sent in pieces to New Zealand where it was assembled at the New Plymouth plant in NZ. It was then sold in Oct. 68 by Moller Motors in Auckland to a Eunice June Potter. She owned the car until 2001. It was sold to a Neville Wooderson. He accompanied Sir Edmund Hillary to the top of Mt. Everest!! He and his wife owned the car until 2010 and were members of the Riley Club of New Zealand until his wife's death. He then sold the car to Turky's in Charleston, SC. I found all this information from the Riley Club of New Zealand and the New Zealand Transport Agency. Originally, The NZ Transport Agency told me that they couldn't give out the history of the car...but I told them that the car was on the other side of the planet!! So, they emailed me the info including the build specs. Interesting...eh? It is done to original specs. It was painted "Olive green" with OEW roof. These colours were not offered on cars built in the UK. It originally had a dove gray leather interior with porcelain green stitching and piping. Gray carpet. All that was made in the UK and shipped over here. The engine bay has been totally done professionally. Pictures will be forthcoming.
