1953 Riley Special Roadster For Sale

Built on a 1953 Riley RME chassis by an English coachbuilder, this Special Roadster is a fantastic project for someone : new all alloy body on ash frame, the idea was to use a Triumph 2500cc 6 cylinders or Jaguar engine + overdrive gearbox. The original Riley engine and gearbox are available separatly, as are a Triumph engine and overdrive gearbox.

I prefer a swap for a "ready to use" car (as a Triumph TR3, what have you ?), but a GBP28000 (or 32000 Euros) price guide is a good negociation basis (fraction of cost).

Can deliver anywhere in GB, V5 present (showing a 2500cc engine capacity).

First contact by email please (sorry, but one digit is wrong in the given telephone number, and it seems that I can't amend it); please allow a few days before reply.
