1931 Riley 14/6 Saloon Restored SOLD

For sale is our 1931 Riley 14/ 6 Alpine, it is a most appealing, Riley Saloon, which has very much the look of a vintage automobile being built on a narrow track chassis and having the very desirable half paneled Weymann bodywork. The car is powered by the renowned 6 cylinder Riley engine, with extremely good oil pressure, is mated to a Riley silent 3rd gearbox and is a pleasure to drive.

A spacious family car, some points to note are that it has a very large sunroof, Rotax Head and sidelights with discreet indicators and a Stainless Steel Exhaust

The Alpine was discovered in poor condition at an old Blacksmiths in Northampton in 1988. It was bought by John Tew and restored by him and other experts over the next 20 odd years to a very high standard and completed around 2010/ 12. There are lots of photos in the history file of the car during restoration.

Unfortunately, John died not long after completion and in September 2014 my granddaughter and I bought the car from his estate via an intermediary. We have done 2072 trouble free miles since we have owned the car.

I believe that the Milometer was zeroed after restoration and the current reading is still only 8533 (this is liable to change as the car is still in regular use).

The car has proved to be very reliable, is still in very good order and open to any inspection at my home. I have serviced the car regularly (last service was February 2019) and it is currently MOT`d to February 2020. The Alpine is ready to be used and enjoyed.

We are looking for a good home for our car and for a Riley enthusiast we would be prepared to discuss the asking price.

You are welcome to email or phone for more information, I look forward to talking to you.
