RILEY ROADSTER RMC
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at Silverstone Festival 2025 on Sunday the 24th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN.
Immediately post-war, Riley felt in need of a suitable model that would appeal to the affluent American market
The worthy RMB was decapitated, suitably strengthened, restyled and offered to the US as the RMC Roadster
Unfortunately the Americans didn't like them, so the vast majority went to Australia and a fair few to Europe
Sad because with the 100bhp, 2,443cc hemi-head engine, independent front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering and 4-speed manual gearbox, they were quite engaging to drive
This handsome, home-market, right-hand drive Roadster was purchased by our vendors in 2009 after many years in the Lake District Collection and then displayed in their own private museum
The Riley has been little used for many years and is offered in need of recommissioning
