  Riley (automobile) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Now, Riley was positioned between MG and Wolseley and most Riley models were like those, little more than a badge-engineered version of the Austin/Morris designs.
The Riley lost its distinct (though subtle) differences in 1958 as the 6/90 was simply rebadged as the Riley Two-Point-Six.
This was to be the last large Riley, with the model dropped in May, 1959 and the company refocusing on the under-2 L segment.

Overall, these changes raised the weight by 190 lb to 1520 lb, with the result that, at first, the Elf and Hornet were slower than standard Minis and the braking ability more marginal when coping with the 14% increase.

With the new engine, The Motor felt that the Elf had the 'zest in performance so often associated with Rileys in the past' and this allied to the superb "handling meant that it was a real driver's car.
When checking over an Elf or Hornet prior to purchase, the most important consideration is the strength of the chassis - the sills are load bearing, and so their state is crucial to getting an MoT.
Unless you come across a very well preserved Elf or Hornet, this type of rot is almost inevitable, but is relatively easy to rectify given a little time and patience.

As with any classic Mini, Riley Elf or Wolseley Hornet these days there is no guarantees, it's purchased as is, but I can honestly say this car is a great purchase for the asking price of $7,000.(Aus) all genuine offers will be considered.
If I did not need to pursue other interests the Elf would not be for sale, but I have to move on and the Elf is not used very often these days so that is why I'm reluctantly selling.

 HISTORY
Mechanically, it is to be stressed that Minis, by and large, are very reliable, the A-series engine famed for its longevity - if something is amiss, though, Elfs and Hornets aren't the easiest of cars to work on; anything wrong with the gearbox will entail removal of the entire engine/gearbox unit.
By the way, the differences between Hornets and Elfs are the badging and grilles - while the Hornet has crisscross bars on the auxiliary grilles, the Elf has horizontal bars.
Well it's not an Elf, but there will be a new car wearing the Riley badge released late this year in the UK.

The Riley version was the more expensive of the two cars and could be distinguished by its Riley grille and badging.
In 1963 a MKII arrived which used a 998cc engine to improve performance, a final MKIII came in 1966 which introduced wind-up windows and fresh air facia vents.
