 |
|
just a Quick hello and intro.
I have a Roadworthy Vauxhall Chevette Hatchback that I am Tweeking and hope to have back on the road very soon.
I also have a 1966 ( 1-1-66 ) Mk1 Riley 1100 Kestrel and a 1968 Mk11 Riley Kestrel 1300.
The 66 is a 68000 miler & big weling project and will take time.
The 68 is a 22000 miler that I just bought,and is a solid car with a few welding jobs ( very minor ) that is stripped and needs cleaning and repainting then re assemble.
Regards
Mark |

My Dad has a Riley 1300 Kestrel too..
I hope to get the 1968 Mk2 on the road first and then the 1966 Mk1.
I will be sending off the detils to Gaydon to see when they were both Manufactured. We think the MK1 is an early production Kestrel.
Regards

Nice Riley,s  many in my family drove Issigonis ADO16 model, but no Riley,s (dont think it was imported to Denmark?)
The Chevette looks really good my Fathers Ventora had the same colour.
