1950 Riley Drophead Convertible
For this weeks motoring feature let me show you a classic from 56 years ago. It’s a 1950 Riley Drophead Convertible.
It was built by Riley Motors in the UK and was powered by a 2.5 litre motor motor that gave it a top speed of around 160 kph.
This beautifully restored example calls Hervey Bay home and I caught up with it down at the BP servo on Torquay Road at Scarness. If you appreciate fine motor vehicles you should start stopping in there for petrol – you never know what you will find lurking in the garage.
