Description
1933 Riley Nine Lynx
VSCC hillclimb and trials participant. Significant mechanical expenditure. Original registration.
A highly desirable 1933 Riley Nine Lynx, freshly serviced by Blue Diamond Services and well known within VSCC circles, having competed in hill climbs and speed events including Prescott, Loton Park and Wiscombe. Presented with substantial documented expenditure and retaining its original Surrey registration, this is an engaging and properly prepared example of one of Riley’s most admired pre-war sporting models.
Unveiled at the 1932 Motor Show as successor to the Nine Four-Seat Tourer, the Lynx combined elegant sporting lines with a cleverly concealed hood that folds beneath a metal panel, creating a clean and purposeful profile. Built for just one season, the 1933 Lynx is among the most sought-after Riley variants, valued for its balance of style, engineering integrity and genuine competition pedigree.
This example has benefitted from significant mechanical investment over the years. The engine was rebuilt by highly regarded specialist Keith Pointing approximately twelve years ago, with invoices at the time totalling in excess of £16, 000. A further £6, 000 has been invested within the last two years, with supporting invoices supplied.
The car has competed in VSCC hill climbs and speed events including Prescott, Loton Park and Wiscombe. Twin spare wheels are fitted, adding useful rear weight for trials work, and the relevant catch tanks are in situ, ready for scrutineering.
The history file includes photographs of the car prior to and during restoration, several previous MOT certificates including one dated 1966, and two RF60 log books. First registered in Surrey in March 1933, the car retains its original registration.
