Hello everyone!  My first car was a 1970 Riley Elf (WNX 227H) which I loved to bits.  Sadly it got squashed from behind by an articulated lorry at a roundabout when my dear old dad was driving it.

 

I have just bought a 1968 Elf - body shell all sorted and in primer as a rolling shell and the rest of it all in boxes! I can't wait to get it back together and on the road! Is there anyone in or around Leicester who would be happy for me to come and look at their car to remind myself where and how some bits and bobs fit?  Not surprisingly I've forgotten some of the detail since the 1970's!

 

I've already found the forum to be great so will be hoping to come along to various events soon!

 

Regards to all,

Bob

Hi Bob and welcome :-)

A couple of bits of advise I hope you dont mind me giving. First is to pay a fiver and get your TMF+ membership (which will get you great discounts from Minispares and a few other suppliers) and second is to set up an Imgur account to make it easier for you to post all those pictures you want to show us :D

Good man. Before you go placing a huge order contact Simon at Minispares through PM on here and he'll set your discount up. Same goes for the rest I think.

 

Here's what you've won, not sure if they are all still relevant but worth an ask

You may need your TMF+ membership number, to get that contact one of the admins and they will supply it.

Happy spending :D
