Due to ongoing health issues my days of playing with classic cars are over. If anyone would like to augment their garage with a different hardtop my Riley is going to auction on 27th April. Happy to answer questions on her but any enquires to H&H https://www.handh.co.uk/auction/lot/67-c1952-riley-rmb-saloon/?lot=55698

The car is as old as I am and would seem to have been better looked after. I understand the "ongoing health issues" issue: I love classic cars but no longer have the flexibility and strength to do much spannering. Increasingly I have to leave jobs I would have taken on easily 20 years ago to others. SWMBO has all but given up riding her horse because getting up in the saddle is painful.

That is a gorgeous example. By coincidence there is a "buying guide"in the May edition of "Classic Car". Good luck with the sale.

The bidding started low then picked up past the reserve. End of an era that started with my first doer upper in 1965.
