1933 Riley Nine 2-Door Lynx "Disappearing Hood" For Sale

With it´s elegant design the 2-door Lynx „disappearing hood“ remains one oft the prettiest and most sought after Riley-tourers of the Nine-series.
Produced for only one year it is not easy to find, especially such a well documented car.

This example from 1933 remains in good condition and drives very well.
The car comes with a lot of history (letters from the previous owner in the 50th´s, bills from the 60th´s till today and buff logs from 1933 till today).
Works and maintenance at MACDONALD RACING are well documented.

Painted in british racing green, bamboo-coloured leather, black carpet and black hood and black tonneau cover.
Full weather equipment with side screens all arround.

The 1100 ccm engine is equipped with two SU-carburettors and a quad exhaust manifold gives a good performance for a Nine.
An oil filter is mounted, thus common multi-range oils can be used.
There exists a performance sheet from „MACDONALD RACING“ showing 36. 8hp @ 74mph / 4381 1/ min.

The gearbox comes with the sought-after „Brooklands Remote Shift“ with it´s short lever, open shifting gate and lock-flap for reverse.

Included are 4 new Blockley tires (not yet mounted).
The car is very reliable.
E. g. it was winner of the „Rhein-Ahr-Eifel-Klassik“ rallye in 2012 (with very hot weather in August, but no heat problems for the Nine).
I also used it during a trip through the south of England (about 1000 miles), in convoy with a 4 ¼ Derby Bentley and a Riley 12/ 4.

There was one owner from 1971 till 2011.
I purchased the car in 2012 (and later a further car) at Tom Hardman, a very advisable dealer

I offer her heavy-hearted for sale due to a lack of time (and space).

The Riley has a german „H“- registration as historic vehicle and MOT (german TÜV) till 06/ 2019.
Also the original number plate (TV 7055) comes with the car.
