Beskrivning
Vintage models of the Riley Nine have always been especially sought after - the MkIV fabric bodied Tourer, particularly so.
Light, nimble and sporting in character, these delightful cars are truly a joy to drive and rewarding to own.
Known to me for many years, this 1930 example, as with many tourers, was originally a Monaco Saloon. It was apparently re-bodied in the 1950s as a trials special and in around 1982 was to undergo a major restoration which included being re-bodied in the style of a MkIV fabric bodied tourer.
An extremely correct car and driving particularly well, this car has been the subject of continual maintenance and fettling to ensure it has remained in peak condition. Well known in Riley circles, it benefits from a current VSCC Buff Form and is currently running on a single SU Carburettor, to ensure eligibility for Light Car events. A coil ignition conversion ensures reliability. The car also has a higher ratio rear axle making for more relaxed cruising on long runs.
The car has green upholstery and good hood and side screens plus tonneau and hood covers. There is also a large touring trunk included.
Copious amounts of documentation are supplied including the correct spare parts catalogue and a substantial amount of bills dating back over many years.
