1951 Riley Other RMB

For sale 1951 Riley RMB 4 door sedan Project. All mechanicals have been rebuilt. The motor has been modified with shell bearings and modern electronic ignition. The motor is not yet in the chassis and has not been run since rebuild. All machining has been done by a local automotive engineering company. Timber and body work has been completed and preparation for painting has been started. The excellent original leather on the seats has been refurbished and re coloured in the original red. There are new door cards, carpet, vinyl top and many other new parts, many of which are hard to come by, including original woollen type hood lining material in the original colour. I am confident the car is complete except for a couple of interior door handles and window winders. Most of the wiring has been re loomed in the original style but with modern materials and it looks right. The distributor has been modified with electronic ignition and more modern vacuum advance/retard unit installed. Registration is on hold and personalised plates come with the car. The previous two owners were an automotive machinist, a well known local motor mechanic and then myself also a motor mechanic. The price nowhere near reflects the cost of the parts and work done. The car now requires painting and finish putting it together. $14000.00ono. I may consider a part trade for a mobile vintage or classic car or pickup. The photo of the car is from an earlier time in its life, prior to the start of the restoration, when it won concours at a national rally.
