RILEY SPECS - PREWAR
as Old as the Industry, as modern as the HourChassis Numbers
Many of the specifications pages refer to Chassis Numbers for certain elements of the information. As a result I have felt it necessary to include a page to help decipher the Chassis Number of your car. In many cases, this will also allow you to identify the original engine and bodystyle that the car carried.|
Pre WW1 Vehicles
Please note, very few examples of these cars survive. Only c20 (exc. bikes) are known about - some are dead, with no 17-30hp models. Any knowledge to the contrary is welcomed! | |
