Other Projects at Rally Preparation Services

It’s not often you see a “Big Six” Riley of the ‘Fifties, it’s thought that there are less than half-a-dozen examples in existence, and so a rally-version is a real rarity. This ex-Nigel Broderick 1955 six-cylinder has a Healey-spec engine of around 180bhp, it was prepared originally for the 10th Monte Carlo Challenge and has come into the workshop for a thorough check-over to be campaigned in forthcoming Historic road-events.

Talking of B.M.C., another rare sight was a full works-replica Austin 1800 which we had in the workshop ready for sale, it required a fresh MOT and a general tune-up, the 140 bhp engine was brand new and not run in…the car is now at Andy Actman’s Lenham Sportscars. We also had a works-Rover SD1 in the workshop recently requiring its four Webers balanced. The racket of this beast rattled all the windows around the yard.
