The Riley Nine is one of the most successful lightweight sports cars of the inter-war period, produced in England between 1926 and 1938. It was initially sold as a 2-seater saloon and 4-door tourer with rear-wheel drive and the engine mounted at the front. Over time, more body variations were added.
The car was largely designed by the Riley brothers (Percy and Stanley). Stanley was responsible for the chassis, suspension and bodywork and Percy designed the engine. It was powered by a 1.1-litre I4 engine, the power of which was gradually increased. This allowed it to reach a speed of 97 km/h with a fuel consumption of 7.1 l/100 km.
