Along with MGs perhaps, pre-war Riley sports-cars epitomised the vintage performance motor car era. Even today, when asked to name a typical 1930s sporting marque, the chances are fairly high that Riley will be at or very near the top of the knowledgeable enthusiast's shopping list. For both MG and Riley excelled on the race track as well as in rallies, hillclimbs and on sporting trials. One of Riley's greatest demonstrator salesmen was Freddie Dixon, a legend when racing on two wheels as well as four, and one of the most successful of all the Riley racers.
