I saw this lovely well used Riley at a garden centre on the Welsh borders. What model is it?
Can any knowledgeable person tell me what the lever does fitted on the top of the steering column?
Do you like the use of the champagne cork?

It's a 1933 Riley Lynx, probably a Nine.
The lever is the hand throttle control. |

Nice 
Such a shame Riley got absorbed into BMC, and is not an alternative to modern Merc's & Beamers
