MrWolf Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 A couple of Morris Eights. Now there's something that will fit in a modern car parking bay! Good spot, nice to see such vehicles being used. 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolseley Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 What with all the restrictions in place, there haven't been any club runs for a few months, so I've taken to using the 15/60 for shopping trips, unless I'm picking up bulky stuff from the hardware shop, in which case a modern station wagon does have a certain advantage....... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people probably wish they would but it's fundraising for the club. To be fair the youth around here generally seems pleasant and well behaved. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunchurch, where I spent the first 10 years of my life. We lived about 50 yards from the Dun Cow, along Rugby Road. George Nutt, the owner of the corner shop to the left of the second picture, had a Sidley Sapphire, often parked in the square. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Northmoor Posted October 1, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 1, 2021 Riley 2&1/2 Litre Saloon (I think). 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 It's one of the Riley RM series, I don't know enough about the little differences to know if it's a 1.5 or 2.5, but @Northmoor has it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMA (or possibly RME depending on age) Riley, another of these, and one of the rare RMC sports/tourers pictured on page 687 of this thread. One of the more handsome saloons of its era IMHO.

That's very handy being able to find out what the car is from the reg number. How's that done? I always thought that the RMD four seater looked better than the two seat roadster. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolseley Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 With all this talk of RM Rileys, I thought I might share these photos I took a few years ago at a joint club run of the Wolseley and Riley clubs and the Morris Register (from memory I don't think the MG club was officially there, it's just that a few of them turned up because they heard about it). Taken at Nurragingy Reserve at Doonside, in western Sydney. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
