That was my old man (with my trailer :lol:) indeed it was a Riley Elf.
The car is rust free, and apparently had been sitting in storage for 20 years. it might be a couple of years until it sees the road again though.

Great stuff !!! Resolves the wonder. I drove past in the inside lane wondering if he saw the ACTMCC stickers on my car and recognised my attention to it. but who wouldn't look :?: The work mates in the car with me were wowed citing that the roof looks like an old mini for sure. Very much an attraction.

I did note it look in great condition (but a long way to go).

Best of luck on the resto.

That would be the one... it'll be going losing the flares and 12" wheels, going back to original condition.

I bought some gear boxes off this guy today.
He still has his stock clubman GT if anyone is after one.
