Riley - Riley 12/4

The Riley 12/4 was the new 1.5 litre introduced in 1935, and had it's own version of the Falcon, Lynx and Kestrel (later 6 light Kestrel) bodies, followed by Adelphi and Continental. With more capacity and now a three bearing crankshaft the performance was an improvement over the earlier 9hp, and a Sprite option version of the engine, with higher compression and altered cylinder head cooling produced more power. This engine was the basis for the later Turner and Lea Francis engines. Production of the Riley 12/4 carried on until 1938.

Riley 12/4 models were all fitted with 18" wheels and tyres. Blockley produce the superb 450/500x18 and the larger 550x18 tyre sizes - see full details at teh links below:
