Riley Car Archive Heritage Trust Spring Event

[hjmerryweather]

The Riley Cars Archive Heritage Trust are pleased to announce their Spring Event at the Coventry Canal Basin on Saturday 13th April 2024 to display a selection of Riley cars. Coventry City Council continue to show their support for The Riley Archive and have granted permission to host the event. Coventry’s motoring heritage will be truly represented by this fine display of Riley vehicles.



You will be able to visit The Riley Archive at unit 8 and view the replica of the first Riley car designed and built in 1898. Also on display is a 1903 Riley Cycle which is believed to be one of only 2 left in existence.


There are also books, manuals, magazines, and photographs to browse through as well as Riley memorabilia and trophies.



The RILEY CYCLE COMPANY was formed in 1896 at St Nicholas Street and was just 50 yards from the venue of the event which is also the home of the RILEY CARS ARCHIVE HERITAGE TRUST.



Car enthusiasts and owners, as well as the general public, are welcomed free of charge to our fabulous event. Riley car owners are invited to apply to exhibit their vehicles although spaces will be limited. 

To apply to exhibit please contact Mike Riley on 07745 795850

how was this yesterday anybody from here go & was it a good turnout ?

[hjmerryweather]

We were there - an excellent turnout. Around 30 cars in all from some really early 9s, some 1930s saloons and sports models, a brace of RMs of various types, Elfs, One Point Fives, a Pathfinder, a couple of Two Point Sixes and Kestrels and a 4/72. If you follow the RMC Facebook page Emma has uploaded some photos

sounds like a decent variety of cars, 30 cars is a good effort,
