A mate of my fathers has recently purchased this Riley.

It is a 1937 1 1/2 litre Kestral.

Engine is a 1 1/2 litre, twin cam, over head valve. It has a 4spd pre selector gearbox (for those who don't know what it is, it has a selector on the steering column, which you choose which gear you want to go in to, then hit a button on the floor where the clutch would be when you want to change. It operates sort of like an auto gear box with bands and the like).

Body is alloy and the guards are steel.

Rolling on 18's! :lol: :lol:

Preselectors are sweet. Didn't realise these Rileys had 'em too.

I can beat this though... i'll take a pic of the 1924 Bugatti in my garage. :P

Errr... you may have to wait for some pics. Dad and i should be finished putting it back together tomorrow ready to be driven to the exhaust shop for a new exhaust. The annual Bugatti rally is on in a week and a half. Getting ready for that. :)

Taster... (Bugatti rally in Merimbula a couple of years ago)
