As Old as the Industry: Riley 1898-1969

Written by the acknowledged expert Dr David Styles this book fills a large gap in motoring history, revealing as it does the tremendous contribution to British and international motor sport from a car maker now nearly forgotten. Unpublished illustrations and the author's own specially-prepared drawings enhance the book's appeal. After examining the development of Riley's sporting models from the very beginnings of the Riley Cycle Company, the David Styles goes through the range of sporting models, covering the many highly sucessful Riley-based special, and the great events in which Rileys took part and often won. He covers in great detail the ways in which Rileys helped keep the Great in Great Britain by their winning exploits abroad, across some of the harshest terrain on Earth.
