This 1954 Riley RME is a beautifully preserved example of classic British motoring, proudly maintained by the same owner for the past 43 years. A rare sight on today's roads, the RME was part of Riley's postwar lineup and combined elegant styling with advanced engineering for its time. With a strong history of maintenance and tasteful restoration touches, this example is both a driver's car and a collector's gem.
Power comes from a 1496cc inline 4-cylinder engine, known for its durability and smooth operation. The engine was rebuilt at 78,804 miles, ensuring strong and reliable performance. Paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, the car delivers a spirited and engaging driving experience that's true to its era. With 82,320 miles currently shown, the car has clearly been driven with care and maintained to a high standard.
The exterior was repainted in 2014 in a handsome Black and Maroon two-tone finish, which enhances its vintage charm while maintaining a classic British look. Original trim and styling details remain intact, and the car's proportions and flowing lines stand out as a hallmark of Riley craftsmanship. The matching Maroon interior has been well kept, offering a rich and inviting cabin that reflects both age and attention to preservation.
With long-term ownership, a documented engine rebuild, and careful cosmetic updates, this 1954 Riley RME represents a wonderful opportunity for any enthusiast of postwar European classics. Whether taken to shows, driven on weekend outings, or added to a growing collection, it offers timeless elegance and a proud ownership history few others can match.
