Had something a bit different in the workshop today..

1955 Riley RME 1.5

 

Very nice. Will you be sticking a Subaru engine in it?

 

mates da has one too

 

Tempting... although I do have a V8 that would be a better fit..
Actually, it's just in for a bit of paint work.

 

Stick a smallblock Chevy in it, but don't tell the owner

 

Lovely - even older than me

 

My grandad had one.....regrettably it's a bit younger than me!

 

friend from local car club now dead rip wully hutchinson ballykelly had a main dealership , the last one he sold he bought back 30 od years later , done a full nut bolt resto before he died lovely man he was

 

Me too and that's getting rare these days!

Lovely looking proper car, it is crying out for a Rover V8 though!

 

...with a blower sticking out of the bonnet

 

I do love your sense of humour !!!

 

Would be lovely electric

 

It would be amusing to see his facial expression when he fired it up..

 

Looks a lot better now @Dubs has done some work on it...

 

Don't be cheeky youngster!

 

Just a couple of subtle mods

 

He'll never notice!

 

Finally got round to painting it this week…
