Beschreibung
This car is a good solid example of the Riley 9 Monaco with a "Special Series" engine and "All Helical" gearbox. Not a concourse winner but very presentable and was subject to a restoration some years ago. The restoration has now mellowed into a very useable pre war car. The interior is largely original and you will be sitting where the first owner sat 89 years ago. The engine was rebuilt several years ago but has done very few miles since, it runs well with good oil pressure and compressions. The car has recently benefited from a rewire. The brakes have been relined and a new brake cable and various pulleys have been fitted. All 5 tyres are very good and display very little wear, the spare being unused. The twin SU carburettors have been rebuilt with genuine parts from Southern Carburettors. The car is in regular use and has proved to be very reliable. See list below for work carried out. Call me for a proper description at any reasonable time.
