Riley

The first Riley model we cater for is the Riley Pathfinder, this model was both elegant and stylish, it was Riley's first car with a modern body. Unfortunately though it was only the bodywork that had been modernised and with poor handling the Pathfinder did not become a great success.

The Riley 1.5 however was a great success story, made along side the Wolseley 1500. The Riley with its B-Series engine had a very similar performance to the MGA and was the sports version of this car

In 1959 BMC launched a very popular Farina series, they shared this car throughout their range MG produced the MG Magnette Mk3, Austin the A60, Wolseley the 1560 and Riley's version was the Riley 4/68-4/72 Farina.

In 1961 BMC asked the creator of its extremely popular Mini to design a model, just slightly larger for its Riley range . Unfortunately he refused and BMC were forced to commission a new designer. They did this and the result was the Riley Elf which was the slightly larger car with a bigger boot that they had craved for.
