1952 Riley RME SOLD

This RME was first owned by Whitbread Brewery and then, when two years old, was bought by a local farmer in whose family it remained until 1996 when I purchased it. A great deal of restoration work was carried out in the 1990's which included new vinyl roof, a lot of ash frame, a lot of rechroming, respray, new roof lining, new carpets, new copper brake lines, 5 new tyres, new shock absorbers and an engine rebuild.
The car starts on the button and runs well apart from the fact that it has a very healthy appetite for oil. It is MOT'd until 29/ 11/ 12 and taxed(free). It is not getting used by me these days because I have 3 MG's which I tend to use. It also needs two new interior light covers available from the RM Club (my membership has expired). It comes with its original registration number and jack.
