About this car

The Gamecock was Riley's sporting take on the Nine, built in the early 1930s with a stiffened, lowered "Plus Ultra" chassis and the "Special Series" engine. This 1932 car pairs the 1,098cc twin-cam four, which has twin SU carburettors and a sports exhaust manifold, with a four-speed manual gearbox.

The engine was stripped and rebuilt in 2015 by Riley specialists Blue Diamond. The bodywork is described as sound and has been repainted fairly recently. It comes with a hood and hood bag.

The car is known to the Riley Register and the VSCC, and it has competed in trials, rallies and speed events. A large file of bills documents its history.
