  • Tom's Riley

    One of my friend Tom's eleven cars is this Riley. It took him most evenings of the last eight years to bring this car back from the death.

    A real piece of art. What are the specs of this beauty?

      Very nice .. they drive very well too.

      I have one of those here at work but it is being transformed into a VSCC racing special for sprint racing and hillclimbs which is quite common in the U.K.

        Why? Please don't!
        Or is it a wreck which can't be brought back to original state?

          i would never cut up a good car however the Donor car is totally knackered and rotten, with a body you can see daylight through.
          But the rolling chassis, engine (which is seized ) and gearbox are ok ish. all bought for £500, so as you can see i think this will be the best route.

          i however hate these kind of specials but this one is too far gone and will give someone a fantastic period looking sportscar.and some summer or winter fun

            I really admire people and their passion for restoring cars. It's really something!
