Your profile says you're in Massachusetts. What were you doing in Charleston?

Happened to be there for a 4 day getaway with my wife and another couple. Were staying in the Governor Inn on Broad just a couple of buildings down and opposite the Catholic Church where the parade ended. We went outside when we heard the parade going by and there was the Riley along with the other Brit cars. Snapped the pic from the porch and "educated" my wife and friends about the Riley. I didn't see if or where you pulled in, otherwise I would have come over to look closer at the Riley.

We were originally supposed to go on to Savannah for the rest of the week but I got called back on business unfortunately. I hear they really know how to do St. Paddies day there. Really sorry we missed that.

All it needs is:

Elf specific bits, (unobtainable or nearly so):
correct front panel
front slam panel
offside rear quarter
both wings
rear valance
rear slam panel
front and rear bumpers
dash
seats

It's been a while since I looked, but I think one of the Brit suppliers still showed Elf panels in the catalog, try M-Machine or Somerford.

It doesn't need quite so many parts any more, since it's now cut up for spares.

Yes the lil' green Elf gave it's life to save another Mini or two and also to donate part of it to becoming a trailer! Stay tuned.........

It's presently yard art. But not for long...

It looks sooo much better in your yard than mine! Reminds me of Stonehenge somehow...........
