Reluctant sale of much admired and award winning 1936 Riley Kestrel Sprite. Complete nut & bolt restoration over a 4-year period, which included complete removal of the body, for chassis to be cleaned, then painted in Rust Busters two pack. Repair and replacement of woodwork as appropriate, including a complete new boot. A local Riley expert, refurbished the engine at great expense with many new parts fitted, before it was fully balanced. All ancillaries were stripped, checked & repaired as required, before being replaced. Many parts were powder coated, and all chrome-work replated. The car was rewired, using an Autosparks Loom, manufactured from an original 12/4 wiring diagram, upgraded to meet today’s requirements.
The body was stripped back to bare metal, before being painted in two-tone grey. All the glass was replaced with new. The interior has been completely refurbished, with all new headlining, door cards, carpets, and red leather seats. The dash board was renewed, and all the instruments refurbished by a specialist. The car has covered just 3800 trouble-free miles, won many awards, and will not disappoint. I have many photos of the car available, both during and following its restoration. It is available for viewing most times, and offered at a fraction of its cost to build, at £37,000.
