Riley Elf stolen before being used for charity event

STOLEN: Riley Elf TGC 596E

The Croydon Advertiser is reporting the theft of a 48-year old Riley Elf which was being used to help raise money at charity events.

Owner Roger Gourd reported the classic motor missing from outside his home on Homefield Road, Old Coulsdon on Friday (25th September) at around 21:30. Mr Gourd has been using the car, amongst other classics to attend local charity events and help raise money through interest in his cars. 

In fact, he was due to attend a MacMillan Cancer Support morning the very next day, and has already helped raise over £700k through his charitable work.

"I'm still seething over it," said Mr Gourd. "I'm annoyed, why couldn't they leave it alone? They can get another car, a modern car, leave my car alone."

The car itself has been rebuilt over 25 years of ownership, with a new engine and nitrogen-filled tyres (with green tipped valves).
