These photos arrived in the early hours of this morning, apparently the owner has no interest in restoring this RM so its up for sale. I don't yet have location or price information, but if that comes through I'll add it in. The condition doesn't look too healthy, perhaps a spares candidate rather than a viable project? perhaps a Riley fan would like to comment Smile




(note the Herald ragtop in the background!)

What a shame! Immediately I saw the pics I could see the car as it was 'new' in it's black and old English white livery, quite something really.
There's something about the fate of old vehicles that echoes that of our own, the Riley looks like a once beautiful woman that is now in a rest home forgotten and unloved.

Ooh...I've woken up all sentimental this morning Laughing

confirmation of asking price:

"She does look in a state but reasonably solid I am told.
My friend is looking for about £700 as a complete car.
Thanks very much for putting it on your forum.
Regards
Graham"
