Description
Lot 51
1931 Riley 12/ 4 Sports Special
Reg. no. OV 1121
Chassis no. 6012740
Engine no. CE318154
The Riley 12/ 4 has always proved to be an excellent basis for sporting specials, the 1500cc engine giving a good turn of speed when required. This example has been the subject of a £40, 000+ restoration, between 1992 and 2016, work that included a fully rebuilt engine, completely new coachwork, an entire re-wire and a new interior. This has certainly been a labour of love for its current owner, the new custodian will now reap the rewards of this expensive restoration. It is offered here with an old-style logbook and some bills.
Estimate: £12, 000 – 15, 000
