1933 RILEY NINE MARCH SPECIAL
Registration No. VL 4910
Chassis No. 6021215
Engine No. 59090
Green
Right hand drive
The superb Riley engine, with its hemispherical cylinder head, was used in four and six cylinder forms in Riley's 1930s touring and sports cars. Its development potential was obvious when one considers the reliable power that Freddie Dixon extracted from the Brooklands Riley or Raymond Mays from the ERA racing cars. This March special as verified by Dr David Styles the Historian/Registrar of the Riley Club is very much a restoration project. The March Special was very much an interim sporting Nine before the arrival of the Riley Imp and was launched in September 1932 with four seater touring coachwork built by John Charles & Sons of Kew and featured cutaway doors and twin spare wheels mounted at the back. The whole project was conceived by Messrs Kevill-Davies & March Ltd whose leading personality was 'Freddie' March (the Earl of March) who became the owner of Goodwood Circuit.
This vehicle does not have its original flowing wings and is being sold as seen. The engine which dates from 1932 was rebuilt 25 years ago and has not been used in the last ten or twelve years. There are no front seats, the dashboard is not original and the Ameter appears to be missing. There are some spare engine parts (used), a non-original gear selector mechanism, a spare dynamo and two spare wheels. It is fitted with the correct silent 3rd gearbox and the rear suspension has been modified with telescopic shock absorbers.
