Believed 2-Owner car with the current (deceased) registered-owner since 1993. Was then used regularly as a Wedding Car until 1998.

Dry-stored from 1999 until rediscovery by the owner's nephew in 2017, subsequently featuring as Classic & Sportscar Magazine "Barn Find of the Month" for October. 

Now available following extensive Professional renovation costing over £7,000 using brand new Riley parts from the RM Centre where possible.

Receipts for most including complete new Braking system, Steering Wheel, Manifold, Battery, Tyres, Carb rebuild and many electrical/wiring ancillaries. Waxoyled and Seats refurbed.

Drives superbly having recently undergone a thorough 150 mile test drive across mixed driving conditions.   

Structurally very sound, engine silky and gearbox engages willingly with no known faults. Starts on-the-button with only minor choke required from cold. 

Attention needed only to headlights to finish restoration. Interior Headlining kit not yet installed but is supplied with vehicle.
