Descrição
HELLO fellow classic car lovers. Martin here at Martin Howey Classics (Est. 25 years). Just 24 hours ago, there I was listing a 1982 Ford Cortina Crusader. Now, I am back again taking my Tardis back to 1951 and offering for sale a 1951 Riley RMB 2. 5. That's right, the rare one. Not the RMA/ RME with the 1500cc engine but the RMB with the big lump and therefore that beautiful elongated bonnet. The lines of this beauty are just bang on! Talk about sleek.
In recent use as a wedding car, it's a real tidy example with the underside appearing to be as solid as a tank. Delightful interior and a motoring antique that is on the button!
This description is based on my opinion of the vehicle, the paperwork that comes with the car and anything I have been told about it. The vehicle is 72-years-old and this cannot be taken as a definitive statement for obvious reasons. As with most classic cars, there may be faults and quirks whilst, almost inevitably, some degree of tinkering and care will always be called for. Such are the joys of owning an antique vehicle and they must be taken within their own context and not compared to modern day cars. They are sold as old, mainly out-dated machines and come without any comeback whatsoever. They are my terms and conditions.
My classic cars are motoring antiques. This car, for example, is 72-years-old. It's not two, five or even ten-years-old as your own everyday car may be. It has been in service for more than half a century and so will have quirks and faults in there somewhere. However, faults on these old girls are not always apparent when buying and selling classics which is what I do. I do not restore them, nor do I pretend that they are concours cars. The majority of them go out as they came in, and I continue to enjoy finding more - a skill which is becoming increasingly difficult as many of you will be aware. They deserve to be taken on as "family pets" and cared for through thick and then. They don't make them any more and demand now out-strips supply. Please bear all this in mind, and enjoy your classic car. I can also assist with delivery and so please ask for a quote.
I have now been established as a one-man band classic car dealer for 25 years and pride myself on my buying prowess and - due to small margins - my prices which I firmly believe are up there among the very best in the UK classic car marketplace.
Thanks, Martin. the details below.
