About this site 

This website is managed by Sheryl, a Riley Elf enthusiast of New Plymouth, on the west coast of New Zealand's North Island.  There are several other Riley sites on the Internet, and hundreds of Mini-dedicated sites, but this is the only Riley Elf site on the web. 
The aim is to promote awareness of Elfs and to give owners throughout the world the opportunity to have a picture of their Elf published on the web (see 'Links' page for details)

 
A sad sight indeed, these poor abandoned Elves were found quietly corroding away, unfortunately not much in the way of salvageable parts - they're a lot worse than they look!

ELFs On The Road
The New Zealand Motor Vehicle Registration Department has advised me that as at 31 March 1999 there were: 381 Riley Elfs and 50 Wolseley Hornets on the road in New Zealand
