 Greg Dobson writes: "I wondered if some of your readers might help me identify or throw some light on the history of this unusual engine?Whilst on a visit to Beaulieu auto-jumble with a list of parts to buy for my jigsaw of a Riley 9 special I got talking to some gents on the Riley club who told me about the unusual engine. It started of I believe as a standard nine engine but at some point in its history it has been heavily modified to incorporate two coils & two distributors amongst other things. The modifications have been carried out to a high standard. I have shown some of the wizards at the Scottish Riley owners club who have put a few suggestions forward but nothing concrete. All I know of the history is that it passed through the hands of the well known collector Barry Peerless who apparently rescued it from a scrapyard. I have held off from taking it apart until I know more about this special engine. Any ideas?" |
