Riley RMA 1.5

The Riley RMA was the company's first post-war saloon, and this 1948 example is a 1.5-litre car in black over cream with a patinated leather interior. It was first registered in February 1948 and shows 68,000 miles.

Its history is described as well documented, with five previous owners. It spent about 30 years in dry storage and was restored during that time, though the date of the restoration isn't recorded. The previous keeper bought it from a fellow Riley Club member and says it has never been driven on wet or salted roads.

More than £2,800 has been spent over the past three years. The work covers rewiring at the rear, a new fuel tank and water pump, a new centre exhaust section, plugs and leads, a reconditioned dynamo, and restoration of the dashboard and door caps. The leather seats have been restored with much of their original patina kept.
