This is a record of the original Riley Motor Company and its wide range of beautifully made pre-war motor cars. The marque grew from the early interest in motors of the four sons of William Riley, a craftsman-engineer to the weaving industry, at the end of the nineteenth century. The fine competition record of Riley sports and racing models is well told and adds great interest to the book. Hardcover in unpriced dust jacket.
