The Elf featured a range of engine options, including various displacement versions of the BMC A-Series engine, which were all either the same or very closely related to the engines offered in the Mini. The Mini had be lauded for its tack sharp handling since its introduction, and it would go on to be a wildly successful race and rally car – despite the fact it hadn’t been designed for motorsport. The Riley Elf enjoyed only moderate success during its production run, the wild popularity of the Mini and the fact that it had become one of few cars to cross class divisions meant that everyone wanted one – even The Beatles – and so there was less room for cars like the Elf and Hornet.

The car retained the Mini’s basic underpinnings, but it featured an extended rear body section and a unique front end. ELVES replace all this with one single registration, can be as much as 80% cheaper, and already has a contracted Network of scrapyards that will cover your compliance.

These slang phrases come and go, and hopefully this one won't stick around too long,'' Medinger was quoted in the paper. I made sure the family car was always filled up at the local elf pump and soon gained the whole collection. The Riley Elf was developed by British Motor Corporation (BMC) and introduced in 1961 as a variation of the Morris Mini. The elongated rear allowed for additional cargo space, addressing one of the major complaints about the original Mini. The carbon neutral certification was attained through Carbon Footprint Ltd and represents the achievement of a goal set by the ELV compliance scheme in 2021.
