1964 Classic Riley 4/72 Four Seventy Two SOLD

here i have a very clean riley 4/ 72 with a very INTERESTING HISTORY but first. I have had this car a long time and have a genuine reason for sale. It has always been kept in a centrally heated garage. I have spent a lot more money on it than I am asking for. When I got it I had it down to metal and a full respray any rusty bits were removed and replaced professionally with genuine BMC parts no expense spared. There is no rusty bits. I don't do breakdowns etc. so I also had the automatic gearbox fully stripped and rebuilt by a professional company. I did exactly the same with the engine totally rebuilt by a professional company. New starter dynamo radiator etc. Any thing not looking good got replaced. So now the car looks great drives great and starts as it should. It was the top model in its day so quick twin carbs, nice walnut dash with all the clocks, leather reclining seats with picnic tables. The auto models had a tendency to get too hot so had an automatic electric fan fitted as well as the original. 100s of photos taken showing everything. If you really want a very nice very usable one of these you will not find a better one (I have seen most of the rest). it has 90000 + miles on the clock. I can get a new mot no problem. HISTORY. The car was owned by the queens choir master who lived in WINDSOR CASTLE along with the car. When I collected the car it was kept in one of the stables,(so kept dry)lots more to say get in contact if you wish.
