1949 RILEY RMC ROADSTER PROJECT
REGISTRATION NO. KXR 386
Odometer Reading: N/A
MoT Expiry: Exempt
*Rarely-seen restoration opportunity
*A highly rewarding project
*The last of the 'real' Rileys
Targeting export markets as much as that at home, the RMC's lines drew on exiting Riley models and added a more rakish touch. Most were exported, meaning few remained at home and this just-started project is a pleasing opportunity for the mechanically-minded and dexterous to get stuck in. Our vendor rates the bodywork as average and rest of the external condition as poor, and the interior is also rated as poor. The mechanicals are all rated as poor. There is little history or paperwork accompanying this lot.
