Classic Car Loan Project

My wife and I have had the pleasure of looking after the Classic Car Loan Project Riley Elf this year and he is without a custodian for next year at the moment.

I have started a small thread on him here:

If anyone is interested in driving him for a year form next spring the loan project can be contacted here:

                                   the austin 7 would be great for all the 20mph roads nowadays, however on a longer trip you would get overtaken by wildlife!

Yes indeed! That's the beauty of the Elf in that it will just about keep up with modern traffic, albeit we tended to steer clear of motorways where possible

i agree although the classic mini gets all the publicity, you have the same car with a boot, & imo it doesnt matter what car you drive, how big or small you are, you get behind a mini (in clubs case a loan elf) its like legally driving a go kart on the road !however i do think this one is a tad over priced ! its at bottom of page www.carandclassic.com/list/37/

Absolutely - I’ve got an 850 Mini which is brilliant fun! Much more bouncy on its rubber suspension than the Elf’s glorious hydrolastic system.

I did see that Elf for sale and thought they were maybe being a touch ambition at nearly £30k!!
