AI Listing Summary
This 1952 Riley RME 1.5 saloon, with a 1496cc engine, features a "Biscuit" brown interior and has been well-maintained, including a recent four-figure investment in refurbishment. While it presents nicely and comes with historical documentation and maintenance records, potential buyers should note the expired MoT and the general wear expected of a vehicle of this age.

Condition
6
The car has been regularly MoT tested with no advisories recently, but the certificate expired last year. The interior is in lovely condition, and the car has had recent maintenance work, including a four-figure investment. However, it is an older vehicle, implying moderate wear.

Its latest certificate was awarded with no advisories, although this expired in May last year.
Trimmed with a “Biscuit” brown interior in lovely condition, the car is displaying 1959 miles on its odometer, and once appeared on the front page of Practical Classics magazine in 1997 (according to an accompanying record from the Riley RM Club Register).
The car comes with good collection of maintenance invoices from the last couple of decades.
These show a four-figure investment last summer for works which included refurbishing the steering column, replacing the steering wheel, fitting a new starter solenoid and stainless exhaust, servicing the engine, and various other maintenance and refurbishment tasks.
The history file is accompanied by a Riley instruction book and workshop manual, and the current V5C.
