Brooklands 2x12 Hours '1907–39

According to a previous owner, this particular Riley racing car was an early 9 chassis, developed for competition at Brooklands by Thompson and Taylor at the factory's request, and featuring numerous changes from the company's standard automobiles, developed by Parry Thomas and Reid Railton. At its completion the frame was sent back to the Riley Works, stamped as 8046, and received a Riley Works racing engine, of the same specification used for the Irish Grand Prix cars of 1930 and 1931. It was reportedly the first of its kind produced to the lightweight, aluminum-bodied "Brooklands" specification. Following restoration, the car was enthusiastically driven, including appearances at the Le Mans Classic and Le Mans Legend events, and at the 2009 Monterey Historics.
