The Mark II Riley Elf of 1963 had a 998 cc, 38 bhp version of the Cooper's power unit, which raised the top speed from 71 to 77 mph, together with front drum brakes with twin leading shoes. Automatic gearboxes became available on the Mark II in 1965 as an option. The Elf and the Hornet both went through three engine versions, and the Mark II kept the long gear lever known as the magic wand type. Its model years run from 1963 to 1966.
