Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. ENV preselector gearbox, silver painted wire wheels, folding windshield, inset rear spare, later engine with ail filter and larger con rod bearings. Restored in the mid 90s and unused since. Vry nicely done and credibly presented but showing its age and in need of some attention.

Market commentary

Relatively rare, powered by the innovative hemispherical combustion chamber, cross flow head four cylinder that made Rileys unusually powerful for their size and with an underslung rear frame for good balance. The coachwork is very attractive and more modern than their competitors from MG. This result is appropriate for this cars ten plus years of dormancy.
