Restoring a Pre-war Riley Special
My Father is restoring a pre-war Riley Special, which is an British vintage car. He’s been doing this since before I was born, but this project is particularly special because he’s not just building one, he’s building five. This will be the first time my Dad’s process has ever been documented and will show you all the individual steps that are involved in taking the decomposed remains of a car dating back to the 1930′s and making it look like it just rolled out of the factory. Personally, I can’t wait to see the first one finished but you can read about it now and see the progress in ‘real time’ over at his Riley restoration diary blog.

Hello Stephen, I was following your Fathers blog about building a Riley special but haven’t seen an update since a long time. Is everything allright and is he just too buys to update? His blog is allways a good source of knowledge for me. And it turned out it influenced me somehow and I start to build a Riley special this year.
regards
Roland
