Riley Elf MkII. Intended as small, luxurious cars, having a larger boot and a more sophisticated looking front. The name "Elf" recalled the Riley Sprite and Imp sports cars, also of the 1930s. Cars went through three versions. Initially they used the 848 cc engine, changing to a single carburettor version of the Cooper's 998 cc power unit in the MkII in 1963. The MKIII facelift of 1966 brought wind-up windows and concealed door hinges two years before these were seen on the mainstream Mini. 30,912 Riley Elfs were built.
