Equipment
RHD. 1726cc/70hp daul SU carb six, 4-speed pre-selector, silver painted wire wheels, Blockley tires, folding windshield, dual aeroscreens, radiator stoneguard Rotax headlights, preselector gearbox.
Condition
Delivered new to Jacob Waeny in Berne, Switzerland, powered by a 15/6 engine, perhaps from new. Bought by Bob Lutz in 1963 and restored for him in the 1970's, later restored again to its present condition. Disappointing old repaint with flaws and small chips. Aged but sound upholstery. Clean, orderly chassis showing limited use. Exceptionally pretty, low to the ground, with sweeping clamshell fenders and a sexy beetleback tail.
Market commentary
Probably the best Riley MPH out there, little changed from how it began life and carefully preserved by car guys who know cars like Bob Lutz and Willem van Huystee. It's just a choice car with beautiful classic coachwork. Over the high estimate? Not to worry, be happy for its quality and appearance. This is one exceptional ride.
