1934 Riley MPH sound + drive by!! 1/15 ever made!! 1080p HD

Description

Widely considered to be the most beautiful sports car of its era, the Riley MPH was built in extremely limited numbers by the special projects department of Riley Cars and was based on the chassis of the 1933 Grebe TT racer. The aluminium bodywork was supported on an ash frame and was very similar to both the Sprite and Imp models, variations being mainly in the wing design, length of bonnet and spare wheel mounting. Power came from Riley's six-cylinder twin-cam OHV unit with twin SU carburettors in either 12hp, 14hp or 15hp form, developing 51bhp to 54bhp at peak revs, sufficient for a top speed of over 85mph. Ignition was by Scintilla Vertex magneto and transmission was of the Wilson pre-selector four-speed type. The frame was an extremely rigid assembly, slightly upswept at the front to pass over the front axle but downswept and passing below the back axle at the rear, with substantial cross-bracing and side-members. Suspension was by semi-elliptic springs all round, movement of which was controlled by Hartford shock absorbers. Braking was by massive 15-inch elektron drums all round with steering by worm-and-segment mechanism.

Fourteen original cars are thought to survive. (Source: Wikipedia.com) This Riley MPH was participating in the GrandPrix from Middelharnis. Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy this <b>...</b>
