Hi from Scotland
 

I have been interested in building Riley Specials for a number of years. I have built three and am on my fourth. They are two seater ally bodies. I have experience of metalshaping but am keen to learn more. Your site was recommended to me by a local fella who is a very keen member. (redoxide I think) So far I am very impressed.

Cheers, Jim

Welcome Jim, Got any photos of your specials?

Jim, welcome to the site, hope it will fit your need. We love to see photos of builds. Thanks for joining us. Looking forward to see more post from you.

Some pics of my Riley Special builds
 

Hi, thanks for the welcome. I will try to post a couple of pics of each of the Rileys. They are built on Prewar Riley chassis and have all prewar running gear and mechanicals. As such they qualify for Vintage racing in UK.

The first one I built is the grey 1.5 litre KSJ 818 and there are quite a number of flat panels. The second is the 2.5 litre competition car I built for a friend. The third is the pointed tail unpainted one which has the 9hp under 1000cc engine.

Hope you like them!
