1953 Riley RMF 2½ Litre Saloon 1953 Riley RMF 2½ Litre Saloon Registration Number: TWL 980 Chassis Number: RMF10309 Engine Number: R1515 (Replacement engine) Estimate £1000 - £2000 An unfinished restoration project, TWL 980 was first registered on the 5 May 1953. Coming into Alex's ownership via Riley specialist Gavin Lumsden in 2019, the car was stripped down and reportedly 'gone through' over three years very much as Alex's personal weekend project. The chassis can be seen to be in nicely painted condition with many new parts visible including new stainless steel exhaust system, new wiring loom, suspension components amongst others. It is reported that parts of the wooden body frame were repaired or replaced and certainly the doors close nicely. The car stops and starts, and has been started and driven around the yard recently. The roof covering is present, but not fitted, and the interior, while with the car, is the unrestored original and has been completely stripped from the car, but again, is present. The buff logbooks with the car show that the original engine was changed in June 1962 to the unit presently fitted and now with the car for over sixty years. Paperwork included with the car comprises the original RF60 registration book, a buff continuation registration book and current V5C Registration Certificate.
