AI Listing Summary
This 1959 Riley 1.5, with low ownership and 53,000 miles, features an upgraded 5-speed gearbox and other modifications. Sold with spare parts including the original engine, it's now tax and MOT exempt, making it an appealing classic for enthusiasts willing to invest in some reconditioning.
Condition
6
The car shows moderate wear but is well-presented for its age. Upgrades like the gearbox and exhaust suggest good maintenance, but the need for spare parts implies some mechanical needs. The mileage is reasonable, and it's tax/MOT exempt, but minor cosmetic issues are likely present.
