Elf Explosion!

[bcliff]

The Elf population has doubled here. #1 Son decided it was time to liquidate the Triumph Stag and get something a little more Friendly at the gas pump. He really liked driving my Elf, so he got one. It is a MK3, so it has the wind up windows, and it also has a 1275. It is a pretty hot little number.
Also shown is the Junkpile B project. I'm starting to feel like Santa with all these elves!

Nice! Great little cars.

Thankfully, the thread title didn't lead where I was afraid it was going!
Wonderful rides. I'm still looking for a Series II Hornet, myself.

Was there ever a wagon version of the Elf.....seems a natural from the length of the quarter panels

 

[Steve]

No, unfortunately they never did the Elf or the Hornet (Wolseley) as a wagon.

The closest combination like an Elf wagon I've heard of are the South African Hornets. For a few years they assembled a car that used the Hornet front end but a traditional Mini rear end (sans horizontal boot lid). It's a curious looking thing.

Great stuff!

And great to see Junior following in Dad's steps, LBC-wise.

G'luck with the "B" project!

I'd want to say that one looks strange, but considering production numbers the Wolseleys and Rileys are the strange ones. Its probably therefore like them.

I'm in the process of replacing the front hub bearings on the green elf. They seem a little tight. Melanoma surgery has delayed any progress slightly. Work does continue though. See Junkpile B Build in the MG Forum.
