Spotted on ebay .... 1.5 for sale
Looks like a pre-production car - it has some of the fittings associated with the early car. Its not in the register - so have now added it.
It is worth saving - just for rarity. However many people will be put off by the lack of engine, g'box and suspension let alone all the welding needed. But ... if I had the room I would be off to Preston in a flash to collect it!

C'mon Graham, You can never have enough! Anyway - beginning to think about my next project, now the works replica is up and running.
I've always liked wind-in-your-hair motoring - now how about a convertible 1.5 .... mmmmm!

Since there's no windscreen I don't think 'wind in your hair' is going to be too difficult.
Once you put an engine in it that is

Nice to see it sport the Riley Motor club badge on the grille.
I am with you roger, it should be worth saving

Just have been given the chassis number by the owner ...
Its the second oldest in existence !
It must be worth saving?

At that price I'm afraid it may go to scrappers but as there's so much missing perhaps not. Shame the club can't buy it, restore it with the help of volunteers and sell it on to an enthusiast.

The green Riley 1.5 that I posted under the banner headline of "Riley 1.5 for sale from someone that we know" has been sold today to be used as a donor car to get this second oldest car up and running again. So one gone forever but a bit of history saved.

We all like a good news bad news story, no? Looks a worthy project, may it all end well! Don't forget to sign your organ donor card, or spare car donor card.
