May part with some of my projects/parts
Since starting this blog I have had many emails enquiring about spares, etc. … At the same time I have realized just how much work and comittment is needed just to get one project completed to a good standard. … This has in turn caused me to evaluate what I`ve got around me with a view to rationalising the collection.
As a result of this pondering I have advertised a 1933 Monaco that was “waiting in the wings” for my attention. … I had thoughts of building a Brooklands replica at some future date. … Anyway, the advertisment reads as follows:-
1933 Riley Nine Monaco For Sale |
£9,750 ono (approx. €10,741 or $14,540) |

| 1933 Riley 9 Monaco. Good mechanical condition, patinated body and interior. Could be MOT`d and used as it is. Plenty of room for improvement to body, trim, etc. … I bought this car with the intention of using it as a basis for a Brooklands replica, but have had a change of plan. A strong running engine, rebuilt 5000 miles ago, with twin SU`s and reprofiled cams, (twin exhaust profiles). Gearbox, axles, brakes and wheels all good. (Rebuilt powder coated wheels). … Body is fairly scruffy but has had some recent new timbers and all doors close as they should without sagging. …. Lovely Rotax head & sidelamps in great condition. This car was taxed & MOT`d in 2008. A former owner was an official of the Riley Register.
I may also part with a fully rebuilt 12/4 engine and pre select gearbox. However, I would be looking for about £6,500 for this. …… Alternatively a shortened 9 chassis with rebuilt magneto engine and silent third gearbox. Chassis restored and painted, torque tube shortened, etc. Also about £6,500
I hope to post something soon about the continuing work on the Riley special.
