Very early Mk1 Elf from Oct 61-Apr 62 without over-riders or body seam on front wing. |

Is this not a Wolseley Hornet grille ? |

Good call! |

Perhaps I understand your mistake. Apparently not a single yellow shade was available on the Wolseley Hornet, whyle the Elf had at least one. I guess that this car is painted in "old English White" which was a yellowish ivory white, and the picture makes the car visible in not the actual color. |

This one's always bugged me slightly as I don't remember any yellow body Elfs or Hornets, and nothing listed in the lists I've found. The only yellow ref I have is for early Elf Mk1 with Florentine blue body and Chartreuse yellow roof. Trying yet another capture![]() confirms I think it's a real yellow with either a mid-dark blue or maybe grey (Yukon grey??) roof (and incidentally a clearer Wolseley grille). Ignoring the colour lists, it looks as if Hornets did offer Chartreuse yellow body and Florentine blue roof - even if briefly ![]() - reversing the listed Riley scheme, which they did with some other Elf/Hornet combos. |

I am buying a yellow 1974 Alfa Romeo 2000 and I feel excited when I see an old car in an attractive yellow shade in this period. -- Last edit: 2024-03-15 20:39:33 |

Nice - which one?? Even the Berlina is delicious, but I do like the GTV a lot. |
◊ 2024-03-16 14:11 |
The berlina. The GTV is too much expensive... A "Piper yellow" 1974 sedan with black vinil ("Texalfa") uphostery. I would have preferred the dark blue cloth but it doesn't last long. Tomorrow. I put here some pictures if you wish and nobody is against. -- Last edit: 2024-03-16 14:13:38 |

i took the liberty of adding it in comments , that way we can restore the Wolseley back without totally losing the Alfa![]() |
