chris40 ◊ 2010-05-05 16:27	AFAIK the only factory Riley coupé was the Lincock: http://www.autogallery.org.ru/k/r/34ril9LincockChassis6024693_NoelWyatt.jpg , which I remember because I would have bought a 9 h.p. one in 1959 except that I thought £125 was too dear. I'm wondering if this is perhaps an AC 16 h.p.?
