BEAUTIFUL RILEY 1.5 SEDAN. THIS CAR IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND CAN BE TAKEN TO ANY SHOW AND DISPLAYED, OR DRIVEN ON A RALLY /TOUR. ENGINE , I BELIEVE, BUT HAVE NOT VERIFIED, IS THE ORIGINAL 1500 MGA TYPE MOTOR. PROBABLY REBUILT A FEW YEARS AGO AND STILL RUNNING STRONG. NO STRANGE NOISES OR SMOKING. NO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION OR LEAKS. DOES NOT OVERHEAT IN URBAN TRAFFIC. STARTS RIGHT UP WITH MANUAL CHOKE AFTER SITTNG FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. GOOD OIL PRESSURE. TWIN SU CARBS PERFORM BEAUTIFULLY. FOUR SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFTS NICE. HYDRAULIC CLUTCH OPERATES SMOOTHLY WITH NO SLIPPAGE. REAR AXLE IS FROM 1970'S MGB AND HAS A VERY NICE RATIO FOR HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BRAKES ARE ALL 1970'S MGB WITH DISCS IN THE FRONT. WHEELS ARE ALSO FROM A MGB AND TIRES ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. MOST GAUGES WORK ACCURATELY, TACH, SPEEDO, OIL , TEMP, BUT THE GAS GAUGE APPEARS A BIT OFF INTERIOR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH NO TEARS IN THE SEATS OR CARPET, EXCEPT FOR ONE SMALL SEPARATION ON THE RH DOOR PANEL WHERE IT MEETS THE WINDOW CRANK. LIGHTS, BLINKERS, HORN AND WIPERS WORK GOOD. PAINT IS PROBABLY 5 YEARS OLD AND WAS A QUALITY , PROFESSIONAL JOB. NO RUST OR VISIBLE DENTS MOST OF THE CHROME IS IN FAIR CONDITION, BUT NOT TOP SHOW QUALITY. CAR HAS A CLEAR WASHINGTON TITLE, BUT SPENT MOST OF IT'S LIFE IN THE DRY DESERT OF ARIZONA.
