| Description |
The first Riley motorcar was built in 1898. Riley merged with Morris Motors in 1938 and then with the Austin Motor Company in 1952 to form BMC (British Motor Corporation), they sold Morris, Austin, Wolseley, Riley and MG cars. The 1926-38 Riley Nine (9hp 1087cc 4 cyl) was a light car, designed by two of the Riley brothers, Percy designed the engine and Stanley, the chassis, suspension and body. The Nine was built with many different bodies and saw many improvements along the way Saloons were, the basic 4 door 1926-32 Monaco. Based on this car were the 1928-29 fabric body San Remo, 1929-32 Biarritz Deluxe, 1933-35 Falcon, 1933-35 Ascot drophead coupe and the 1933-35 Lincock Fixed head Coupe. Open Cars were, 1926-31 fabric body 4 seat Tourer, 1928-30 steel body 2 seat Tourer with Dickie seat, 1931-32 Plus Series, 1932-33 Plus Ultra (new chassis), 1931-32 2 seat Gamecock, 1933-35 March Special Sports Tourer, 1933-36 Lynx 4 seat Tourer, and the 1933-35 Imp Sports. These early cars had four stud, then six stud wheels, then knock-ons in 1931. Racing and road versions of these very low set 1927-31 Brooklands Speed Models were produced, originally a 4 cyl then a 6 cyl, they featured cycle wings and a pointed tail. They were developed into the 1931-32 Gamecock and then 1934-35 MPH. This Riley Brooklands contested in seven Australian Grand Prix events in the 30's, winning outright in 1933 and taking a number of class wins. After restoration, returned to historic racing in 2005 and has won many display awards. |
