RILEY PATHFINDER |
This is a good model of a fine British car and it's in really nice, bright condition.
I recently learnt from my reading & research that under Lord Nuffield's BMC these cars were made at the MG factory, in Abingdon, where I live, which makes sense. The two fine sporting marques under the BMC umbrella being produced by the same craftsmen. I think a Riley Pathfinder is in my ultimate British car collection along with a Rover P5 a Triumph 2000, Humber Hawk or Super Snipe, Jaguar Mk X - my Daimler Sovereign would do for the Mk X, Austin Healy 3000, Alvis TD21, DB4, E Type (lets not start on the foreigners - Citroen DS, '62 Mercedes 220SE, '59 Chevy, '53 Cadillac....). Trouble is when you like big cars you need a big building to keep them in, I live in a terrace house.
This was the last Riley, all the remainder were re-badged Wolseleys or Austins.
