For Sale at Auction: 1968 Riley ELF in Scottsdale, Arizona

This right-hand-drive 1968 Riley Elf custom beach car is powered by an Austin-built A-series 4-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The engine and drivetrain were restored and detailed during the comprehensive professional build, which reconfigured the car into a Jolly-style beach car. The exhaust, chassis and suspension components support the widened stance created by flared fenders designed to accommodate wide Minilite-style alloy wheels with low-profile tires, and the braking system remains consistent with the underlying Riley Elf configuration. Exterior modifications included removal of the roof and side windows, welded and cut-down doors, de-bumpered bodywork and retention of the distinct Riley radiator grille, complemented by high-quality chrome mirrors and headlamp rings. Interior features include a lacquered wood dashboard, a wood-rimmed Mountney steering wheel and custom wood rails surrounding the cockpit. Front and rear seats are trimmed in stripe-pattern marine-grade canvas, and the floors are fitted with natural coco-fiber mats. Additional features include integrated map pockets. The build quality resulted in this well-maintained vehicle being shown at the 2015 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance in the Beach Cars category.
