Description
Vintage Class 8 VSCC eligible, has buff form now. Fully rebuilt every nut and bolt. Running and sounding great. Unfortunately not getting used. Made with the "Oily Rag" look but everything completely spot on. Engine & box by Brooklands EngineCraft body by Brooklands Body craft commissioned and detailed by Brooklands AutocraftI started with a derelict Mk. IV Vintage Riley that we have decided to build up as an “Oily Rag Special”.
The Running gear and engine all came as a rolling chassis, long forgotten and as last used in the 50’s.
There was no vestige of body or wings. No record or knowledge of what body type was fitted originally.
Is Now mechanically sound, but hopefully with the patina kept intact. The chassis has been left at standard length. The twin staggered seat body Now made and fitted, is left in aluminium and patinated with old used leather seats.
The body Was planed not to be too low, as so many folk make specials that may look good as a static item but when the driver sits in they look like Noddy, stuck out wearing the body “like a skirt”
