Look forward to threads on the Riley and the Armstrong-Siddeley - sounds like your garage is filling up nicely Smile

well here is the first update plus some photos i hope the Riley is in for a body off sympathetic restoration and should be ready about june time th Armstrong Siddeley is fantastic and fun to drive even in the wet all it really needs doing is new carpets and some leather feed its had some famouse people in it having been used as a vip taxi at the goodwood revival for a few years also featured in practical classics back in 2006 any way i will continue the updates on all my cars as and when

Like the Riley especially, nice to see a saloon rather than a brand-newly-built special for a change!

Hi rjt10/4
The 9 doesn't look bad enough to need a body-off resto. Is it the all-steel body?
I grew up in Pensilva; when caravanning in the Delectable Duchy I often take the Riley up the old railway towards the Cheesewring for a nostalgia trip. I expect you can walk there from your house.

hi uncle alec yes cheeswring is i mins walk from me next time your down this way pm me and we can meet up at the pub riley is steel body and has rust on rear wing joints and sills also some of the ash is a bit suspect so to make the most decided to have a body off sympathetic resto body and chassis to be blasted and repairs as needed then painted rooflining to be replaced as when you touch it your hands come away blue also chrome work needs some rechrome and elbow grease new carpets and leather feed on upholstery and she should be good for another seventy years

I might split these into separate threads sometime if that's ok?

Interesting to see the work on the Riley.

My Son owns a TR7, has for many years. I took it for an MOT recently and was delighted at how it drove.

His car has been all round the UK and has been very reliable, much better than the pundits would have us believe.

I actually thought of buying one after driving his.

Regards Kels.
