Help with Riley 1.5 464 JRR past history

[rileyrob]

Hi everyone

I recently bought some Riley items from a chap called David in Scotland and I agreed to post a thread on his behalf as he is not very IT proficient.

He owns and has restored a Riley 1.5 (I was going to add a current photo of the car but the outdated maximum file size on this board prevents that) but the car had a change of number plate in 1994 and he is struggling to trace any history before that date and wondered if any members could shed light on its past? 

The car was originally registered as 464 JRR but that plate was transferred to a BMW Z1 and is now on a Ferrari.  The Riley is now registered as VFF 521.  Any help or comments can be sent to David at this email address - [e-mail].

Cheers

Hi

JRR is a Nottinghamshire County Council registration if they have an archive dept you may be able to find out who the original owner was when it was registered and by which dealer on what date. I did the same thing for my own vehicle and contacted Bournemouth City Council who furnished my with a copy of their registration day book containing the information I needed for a fee of £5.

Hope this is of some help to you?

Hi Rob,
As you have most probably checked - its not in the register - except for its current VFF number. So I'm not much help here!
