John Treen was an English amateur car builder during the 40’s and 50’s, he built predominantly race orientated sports cars aimed at the amateur VSCC race car owners who wanted something a little more sporting. Mostly built using the components from the veritable and very spritely Riley “9” Brooklands, and other sporting Riley “9” models. He made his own Chassis and or modified the original Riley chassis, depending on the use and his mood. Treen Rileys became extremely popular and sought after due to their reliability and very surprising speed, punching far above their weight on many occasions.
