Amilcar Rileys have been around since the early 1920s but I don't know if this one dates back to then. I read a 2015 article stating that chassis and engine were 'mated' 20 years earlier.

Is it a well known period special? That 'patina' looks a bit false to my eyes.

Cant add anything useful to the thread, but what a lovely thing that car is, looks a serious bit of fun.

There are some impressively bonkers cars in VSCC events; they're by far our most popular to watch whether racing, trials, hill climbs and the nice thing is, the drivers are approachable and happy to chat.

Couldn't agree more. Some wonderfully eccentric and OTT cars with v down to earth owners.
