1952 Riley RMB 2½ litre Saloon 1952 Riley RMB 2½ litre Saloon Registration Number: CGL 998 Chassis Number: RMB 62S 9659 Engine Number: RMB2 1091 A relatively powerful executive saloon in its day, the 2½ litre 'Big Four' RMB was a more powerful, longer wheelbase counterpart to the 1½ litre RMA. Registered 28 April 1952 in Bath to a Mrs Muriel Culverwell, it then passed to Edward Dames-Longworth, father of Vintage Sports Car Club-stalwart, Richard. In Alex Tanner's ownership since 2012, it was purchased from John Havart Riley Restoration in Bungay, Suffolk. Finished in Woodland Green, CGL 998 presents as a nice older-restored car, in good condition overall. The interior has been nicely re-trimmed in light tan with green piping, with matching door cards with tan headlining, and the engine compartment is in presentable 'mellowed restoration' condition. MoT-exempt, the Riley is fitted with a stainless steel exhaust. The car started easily and ran well at the time of our inspection and paperwork includes V5C registration document, old buff logbook and two photographs showing it in 'as found' condition, prior to restoration.
