Riley Elf 1967

Having been seduced by a Riley Elf on E-bay I am in need of some assistance with sourcing parts and ensuring that I purchase the correct style of parts for it.

I have purchased a 1967 Riley Elf Mark 3 however the interior and some of the engine bay appears to be a complete mix of non-original parts - i.e. Beige Velour interior!. Can anyone out there help with:-

1) Where I am able to find detailed specification for this car, in order to try to get it back to original spec.

2) Although a mark 3 Elf it doesn't appear that mark 3 Mini replacement parts are the same. Should I purchase Mini mark 2 parts to keep my car original?

3) Any links/info of where I can source parts such as original seats etc (Most of websites I have checked only have Cobra racing seats) and where I can obtain new long bolts for the dynamo after I mashed mine up when undertaking a renovation of it! :(

Answers to any of the above will be much appreciated.

A good starting point would be to contact the Riley Motor Club. They have a large number of owners of Elfs together with loads of expertise (including a techincal expert on Elfs) and contacts with specialist suppliers. I don't have contact details to hand but they aren't too difficult to find and do have website.
