1931 RILEY STELVIO
This wonderful 6 cylinder ‘wide track’ saloon,one of very few
surviving examples,was registered on the 31/03/31. The comprehensive
history file indicates it was built in 1929 owing to the all fabric
body,early engine and Mk 1 accoutrements although not registered until
1931. Letters from the Riley Club affirm this. The Stelvio was the first
model to be fitted with the 6 cyl,14 hp engine which in highly modified
form powered ERA`s to racing fame.The original ash frame has been replaced owing to woodworm by Ron Laws,the work carried out replicating original patterns.Pictorial records come with the car.
In wonderful patinated condition with a superb interior and instrument panel she rides extremely well and is a delight to drive. The engine has been rebuilt by marque experts and is the L Type 6 cyl with single bronze bodied SU and Autovac fuel feed.
A super car for gentle touring, rallies, pub meets and cream teas!
