Registry: 1959 Riley 1.5

I found this car in Rome, GA on Craigslist and picked it up with the help of forum member Jim McCartney. The car has sat for 19 years in a garage, and is in remarkable condition, considering the time it has been off the road.

After having it shipped up to NH, I got it back on the road after 20 years, and I have been driving the wheels off it ever since. It is a great little car, with the charm of a Morris Minor and the oomph of the MGA's 1500 engine. Just mind the gap between 2nd and 3rd gears!

Hopefully some better pictures will be forthcoming.
