About this car

This 1932 Riley 9 wears a four-seat tourer body by Holbrook, a coachbuilder that clothed only about a dozen of these chassis. Just four are known to survive today, and this is said to be the only one currently on the road.

It was restored in the early 1970s and now presents in worn, original-feeling condition. The twin-carburettor engine has recently been rebuilt by Ricketts Engineering with a new crankshaft, and only around 200 miles have been covered since the work, so it is still being run in gently.

The page describes a quiet gearbox, good brakes and easy starting, and the car comes with a full history and full weather equipment.
