• Immediately post-war, Riley felt in need of a suitable model that would appeal to the affluent American market
• The worthy RMB was decapitated, suitably strengthened, restyled and offered to the US as the RMC Roadster
• Unfortunately the Americans didn't like them, so the vast majority went to Australia and a fair few to Europe 
• Sad because with the 100bhp, 2,443cc hemi-head engine, independent front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering and 4-speed manual gearbox, they were quite engaging to drive
• This handsome, home-market, right-hand drive Roadster was purchased by our vendors in 2009 after many years in the Lake District Collection and then displayed in their own private museum
• The Riley has been little used for many years and is offered in need of recommissioning
