Howdy,

 

I'm in Portland, Oregon and have just gotten back into a British car after 15 years without!
 

I had a '69 Austin Mini and a '60 Morris Mini - Now I'm getting to know this 1968 Riley Elf with the stock 998cc:

(That's my wife testing out the driver's seat, not me.)

 

The guy who had it before me bought it in England (it was burgundy at that point), shipped it over to the States and started restoring it. Now I hope to take it from here.

 

Anyway, looking forward to learning and sharing with you folks!

Welcome from a fellow Elf owner. I'm jealous, mine is currently waiting it's turn for a full body refurb at my local specialist. Enjoy it, they're lovely little motors.

Looks great, I'm restoring my 1968 Mk III Elf, been working on it since the end of last year, started on the bodywork in the last month, so far so good!
