The Riley 12/4 was one of the most popular pre-war Rileys.

The range included Falcon, Kestrel and Lynx bodies, and this open-top Lynx was the last to be launched.

The vendor reports this 1934 model has a significant history file of paperwork, including photographs of the restoration in the early 2000s.

It is finished in Old English White with a red leather interior.

The vendor reports that the car started life as a 12/6, and was later fitted with the more desirable four-cylinder version of the Riley engine.

A very handsome car that’s ready to be used, it includes the fold-flat windscreen and comes complete with side screens and weather equipment.

The vendor adds that the condition of the engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, paintwork and interior are all ‘excellent’.

Riley was founded in Coventry in 1890.

Originally focused on bicycles, the founder’s sons diversified into automobiles and launched their first car at the London Motor Show in 1913.

The business grew quickly...
