Market commentary
Since it is, in fact, a 1935 Riley, even though it is a Special it is eligible for age-specific events where it should surprise a few of the half-million dollar cars with which it might find itself competing. It has been driven, but is clean and well-maintained. Repair parts, however, may be of the finest unobtanium. Even taking that, and arguments with historic event organizers about eligibility, it is a good value in this transaction.
