Equipment
RHD. Sliding sunroof, silver painted wire wheels, crossflow 4 cylinder, dual (tiny) SU carbs, Rotax headlights and parking lights. Original except for an old repaint flaking off in chunks. Sound upholstery but termites have had their meals and the drivers seat mountings are destroyed. Doors close fairly well but theres no telling what else the bugs have devoured. Trunk is full of termite poo. A complete restoration project, but all there. No Reserve.
Market commentary
To say this car attracted attention would be an understatement, but its condition is such that it is good only for a complete, nut and bolt restoration that will almost certainly involve new body framing to replace what the termites have eaten. The price it brought reflects the magnitude of the task before its new owner but when it is done it will be something to see. The coachwork, while closed, it attractive and the performance should uphold Rileys reputation.
