Just arrived at The Garage! (previously supplied by us)
1931 Riley 9 'Plus Series' Four Seat Tourer - NOW RESERVED
Supplied by us just over a year ago during which time she has benefited from a number of improvements made to her general running, and some light cosmetics improving the leather hide, the braking system and the wire wheels a list of which is included on file. The present owner has suffered a shoulder injury which has sadly necessitated the sale.
Her previous ownership was for a period of almost twenty years, this car was acquired through marque specialist the late Barrie Gillies. Having been rebuilt from the bare chassis with a high-quality replica Mk IV Tourer body upon completion the car is reported to have won an award at the Riley Register Coventry Rally. More recently, she also had a rebuilt differential unit, top end re-build including new valves and seats, and the dynamo was also rebuilt. A rebuild of the gearbox and clutch has been carried out by Steve Hughes in Chippenham.
The Weather equipment remains in good condition and the car presents very well. Much money has been spent over the years to keep the car in good running order with much work done by Suffolk Riley Specialist John Havart
Work has included - replacement of crown wheel and pinion and recent attention to brakes and steering. The front tyres have recently been replaced and the cylinder head removed and valves reground. The carburettor has been overhauled and the exhaust system rebuilt.
Affectionally known as Gertie, this attractive Riley has been enjoyed in both in UK and in France having resided for long periods at the owner’s French home.
Included in the history file are many invoices, photographs and a maintenance and instruction manual.
More photographs and a video will be updated shortly.
