1948 Riley 1.5

Vehicle description

Finished in black over cream , complimented with contrasting patinated leather interior. presents very well . Over the past three years, more than £2,800 has been invested in maintenance and improvements. The prior keeper acquired the car three years ago from a fellow Riley Club member who cherished the car . This 1948 Riley RMA was first registered in February of that year and benefits from a well documented history of careful ownership. The prior owner also notes that it has never been driven on wet or salted roads. Prior to the current ownership, the car spent around 30 years in dry storage and was restored during that period, although the precise date of the restoration is not recorded. In total, the car has had five previous owners. The work improvements, carried out includes rewiring to the rear of the car, fitting a new fuel tank and water pump, installing a new exhaust centre section, new spark plugs and leads, a reconditioned dynamo, and restoration of the dashboard and door caps. The leather seats have been sympathetically restored, retaining much of their original patina. For aesthetic reasons, the chrome bumpers, overriders and original spotlights have been removed aesthetically a great improvement if you ask me. This Riley combines charming period character with careful maintenance and sympathetic restoration, making it an appealing opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
