Wanted - 57 - 65 Riley 1.5

[bodiam83]

Looking for a well-sorted Riley 1.5, ready to use, to scratch an itch which started about 1973 when my late wife's Florentine Blue and White car succumbed to the tin worm and went to the great motorway in the sky.

Can you help me, please?

Many thanks,

John

Hi, Kevin,

Thanks for your reply - I noticed your earlier post about your car's value, so I've been keeping an eye on developments!

For me, body condition is critical. I can often deal with mechanical issues, but a body and underbody needing anything more than cosmetic attention would be a deal breaker.

If you have any pics, that would be very helpful, and your own appraisal of the car's condition would help me decide if it is worth my following up with you.

Thanks a lot,

John
