Description

Reley Kestrel 1300 in Blaze Red.
This car must be viewed to appreciate the fantastic condition it’s in.
I’ve added a few more photos which I hope does it justice. It really is as good if not better than the photos show. It has 67 people watching I would encourage any potential buyers to come and view the car.
In answer to some of the questions I have been asked the restoration was completed in November 2024 after which the previous owner completed approximately 600 miles.
I bought the car in October 2025, since then I have done approximately 1000 trouble free miles without any issues.
I changed the oil and filters when I purchased the car. Approximately 1600 miles since the engine and gearbox rebuild.

It gets lots of attention and positive comments at every car show I’ve attended.
Immaculate chrome all round and a wonderful finish to the paintwork.

Fully restored by the previous owner too a fantastic standard. I haven’t seen a better one.
Really nice interior with the typical Riley styling on the ever popular ADO16.
Riley is the rarest of the 1300 version with the factory fitted GT engine.
Fully rebuilt engine and gearbox with a stainless steel exhaust giving a lovely tone. Twin carbs recently professionally tuned and setup gives for a lively performance on the road. Excellent tyres and chrome wheel trims with spinner type centre caps.
Subframes and floors are in excellent condition.
Lots of photos of the restoration. It still has a current MOT until the end of October and I can see no reason it won’t pass another if the next owner decides to do so, although it is MOT and Tax exempt as a classic historic vehicle. Have a good look at the photos it really is as nice as they look.
Viewing is encouraged, if you need any further information please feel free to call

Fully restored by the previous owner to a very high standard. Engine and gearbox rebuilt with paperwork showing parts used.
Lots of photos to show the work
