Date of Registration: 12th June 1935
This beautiful example of the extremely rare Riley model, namely the Falcon, is presented in great running order.
There is limited history with the car but details from the Swiss Riley Club documentation states that it underwent a total restoration by Blue Diamond (Ian Gladstone era) from 1978 to 1979. It also states that it is an original works Special Equipment and Works demonstrator.
Fitted with the 6 cylinder 15/6 engine with triple SUs, 6 branch exhaust and spin off oil filter to say the car being 90 years old goes like “stink” could be an understatement. The preselecta gearbox makes for a very enjoyable driving experience.
A very impressive Riley with the added benefits of a sunroof for those occasional hot days and a heater for the more frequent cold ones.
Ashridge loves this car!
