Description Wonderfully handsome 'Big Four' Riley; restored in 2,000 and only 3,000 miles since; recent major service; few owners; lots of history; nice transferable number plate; driven 30 miles to the sale; advisory-free MOT; lots to love about this one We are big fans of the Riley RM Series here at Brightwells – what a supremely elegant car it is.

Low-slung and rakish the RMB, like its RMF successor, had the fabulous Riley 2.5 ‘Big Four’ under its long bonnet, a 100bhp twin-cam that has long been a favourite with specials builders.

Donald Healey built a whole string of fine sportscars using this engine and the Police loved it too – no Fifties bank robber could outrun a cop in a well-driven RMB.

Coachbuilt in the traditional way with a luxurious interior allied to excellent ride and roadholding for its era, the RM Series proved very popular with the middle class buyers it was aimed at, around 6,900 RMBs being sold between 1946 and 1952.

First registered in the East Riding of York...
