Lot 126
A 1953 registered Riley/ Alfa Romeo special, registration number NLN 849, red. This beautifully constructed and fine looking alloy bodied special (steel rear wings) was constructed on a modified and shortened pre-war WWII chassis. The special is extremely pretty, finely detailed and was clearly inspired by the Alfa Romeo Zagato Monza of the 1930s. The special is believed to have been Riley engined but now sports a 1970/ 71 2 litre Alfa Romeo Twin Cam (1962cc) engine and a five speed gearbox with Riley back axle. The Alfa instruments are contained within a hardwood dashboard. The steering wheel is a period wood rimed example and the red leather upholstery has a lovely lived in patina. The seating position in the cockpit is generous which allows plenty of room for the taller driver. Our vendor is now selling after nine years of improving and enjoying this interesting special. The brakes, steering and suspension have all been restored in the last 300 miles including one new king pin and new bushes all around. There is a comprehensive history file detailing major restoration work completed to the chassis and engine in 2000/ 02 with minimal mileage since. The car comes with a full zip tonneau cover in good condition and an unfitted hood and side screens. This special is said to be great fun to drive with a surprising turn of speed which can embarrass many modern cars. Having formed part of a private collection our vendor has taken the decision to let the car go to another owner due to his advancing years. V5C, MOT and tax exempt See illustrations
£15000-18000 + 13. 2% buyer’s premium (including 20% VAT)
