Equipment

Part of the soul of British motorsport. 6 cylinder modified supercharged Riley engine, pre selector gearbox. Vivid racing history into the mid 50s then carried on without break in historic racing. Restored to origil configuration during the 60s and 70s while being raced. Charismatically maintained, prepared and driven by a succession of important owners and drivers from Raymond Mays to E. Dean Butler. Attractive pati and welcome anywhere. No Reserve.
