Hi

Excellent to see you joining in with the forum, I know I may be pushing it with asking this, but any chance of a picture? Might jog someones memory?

Cheers

Dave

It'd be interesting to hear how it ended up in Portugal...?!?

I'll move this into the Your Cars.. section of the forum.

Rick.

Quite often "where is it now" pleas are published in various places.
I wonder if any of those sought after vehicles belong to subscribers on here?
How about it Rick? How about a section where Forum Members could post photos or details of long gone treasured vehicles? Some survivors might belong to other members.
Or would it take up too much space?
Jim.

I'm not sure it warrants its own forum category as such, but a re-usable thread specifically for "lost car" pleas wouldn't be a problem.

If Ithougth a picture would help Iwould gladly provide one,but as Ibought a chassis and parts I dont think it would help.
It came to Portugal cos I bought it from the Isle of wight from some one who had started the project in1985 but for variouse reasons never got very far.
I,m one year into the project and have only NEARLY finished the timber framework
Thank you for your interest

Hi Graham,

I'd be surprised if the Riley RM club doesn't have some history on your car.
