Thereafter provided with extensive coachwork and mechanical restoration costing some £15,000
Returned to the vendor c.10 years ago but never completed

One of the best-looking pre-war British saloons, the Riley Kestrel débuted in 1933.

Boasting a ‘double dropped' chassis with inter-axle seating and ‘Aero Line' styling, the newcomer was powered by a variety of four and six-cylinder engines ranging from 9hp to 15hp.

Highly capable and stylish, the 12/4 Kestrel was capable of over 70mph, with many enthusiasts preferring the Four-Light ‘22T' version over the later and heavier Six-Light model.
Offered as a stalled project, this 1935 12/4 Kestrel presents a wonderful opportunity for the enthusiastic restorer, especially with much of the hard work already completed.
