Subject: Riley owned by Paul Abt
Hello – I run a Riley website of my own, I have a page about Paul Abt and the 1936 Olympic games riley-cars.co.uk/Paul-Abt.php I have been contacted by one of Paul’s relatives who is trying to find out if his car is still in existence, the number plate is of no help as in Switzerland they belong to the owner and moved to another car if he changed it. I have been told you may hold a record of all cars sold by Riley in their day books, I guess not many will have gone to Switzerland so it might be an easy job to find a 1936 12/4 Falcon, once found a chassis and or engine number may be traceable.
I would appreciate any help you can offer.
Kind regards
David
