    Very cool.
    Almost Rhys - we have 55 entered for the Ganley weekend 2 grid that I have to whittle down.

    Results showed the Riley came second on scratch. I looked at the photograph expecting an RME Riley, but it looks as though it was the Pathfinder - affectionally known as "Ditchfinder" as it wasn't a "real" Riley according to the purists, despite that wondwerful engine. First badge engineered Riley I believe.

    I bought a 1955 RME Riley back in the UK for the equivaent of $40NZ. Big ends were rattling but what a joy to drive. Sadly I had neither the expertise, facilties nor the money to sort it. Sold it for $150 feeling quite pleased with myself - but I wish I had been able to keep it.

    Wonder if it still exists - SLH 85 - even the plate would be worth a packet in the UK. About $9000 based on what my Greeves plate has been valued at.
