PAGE TWO Brooklands and the national Riley rally at Coventry, and marvellous Restoration: 1934 visits to little motor museums all over England, Scotland and Wales. I remember a marvellous Riley 12/6 Kestrel museum at Burton-on-the-Water in the Cotswolds where there were at least four Rileys including the famous "Redwing".

By Tony's own admission he had carried out a hurried rebuild 10 years earlier ready for the annual Riley club meet and not done much work since. As part of the purchase deal with Tony I helped him remove a 14 horse 6 he wanted for a Riley Brooklands replica he is building, and replaced it with the original 12/6 which had been checked over.
