It seemed to be running too warm. Maybe picture #3 can explain that. watch for this "special" thermostat soon on ebay.

Neat! Looks to be in great shape (apart from the thermostat of course)
 
Hey Bruce, what's the rest of the cooling system look like? Eeeewww...... Fun car though!
 
I can count how many of those I have seen on one finger.
 
Well, After the cooling system was flushed, it looked pretty good and now cools well.
Super 7, just be careful which finger you are counting with.
I do get more "thumbs up" with this car than anything I have ever had (Somewhere around 75 different cars).

I have always really liked them...What do you get when you mate a Mini and an MG Magnette?...A Riley Elf! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif
 
You replaced a MM traviller with a beat up F250????
And what's that funny looking little thing in the foreground?
hehehehe
Seriously, that's a unique ride. I like it!
Can't say as I've EVER seen a Riley Elf in person.

Hehehe, it's almost nicer than my F-250, but atleast it's all one color! Hauled more British "junk" with it than all of mine have under their own power. The car rides and drives like a "big" car but for some reason the driver sits on the wrong side... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif

The driver doesn't sit on the wrong side. The driver may not sit on the CORRECT side, but the driver always sits on the RIGHT side!
Bruce (I can tell people I'm always right now)
 
TOO true, sir... TOO true! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cheers.gif
 
That's too cool. It's like a mini with a trunk.
 
You should get a good return on that thermostat on ebay! So of those bidders LOVE that classic British stuff y'know!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif
