1956 Riley RME

Location: Petworth

Launched in 1952, the RME was an improved RMA. It uses the same 1.5 L four-cylinder engine, and has a fully hydraulic braking system and the body has a larger rear window, with curved glass.

This Riley RME was first registered on the 1st March 1956 in Leeds, more recently it has spent some time in Gloucestershire.

The engine is up and running and sounds great, it starts instantly and is fitted with a new 12V battery. There is no frost damage and has good oil pressure.

The drivetrain is in good order, the clutch is smooth and the gear change is direct. The car handles well and the hydraulic braking system has recently been refurbished.

The body is very solid, there is no evidence of corrosion to the underside and it is clean and tidy, not covered in thick underseal hiding any sins. The paintwork we believe is possibly the original, it has a great look about it and, it polishes up well and shines nicely.

The interior is very original, there is some wear to the drivers seat but this is very in keeping with the rest of the vehicle.

We are advertising this Riley as an unrestored car, and with further improvements will make someone very happy. If your looking for a car that only requires some winter tinker time then this is for you!

We do have a history file including the current V5.
