Definitely a Ditchfinder but Sept 57 plate "allocated in blocks" after production ended Jan 57 and 2.6 launched also in Sept 57. 45 MMK now on a black 2002 Mercedes SLK32 AMG and nothing found for its Riley life. Mentioned in a Riley club magazine (The Riley Record, June 2016) as a gap in our collection, which made me track down the DVD and post the series. So if any Rileyists are monitoring this, can you add any info??

I don't remember a crash onscreen (if there had been one, I'd have probably posted a picture) or as part of the plot, but haven't watched it since. Maybe it was an unintended crash, so not used for broadcast?? Nice photo - good to see a connection to the real world.
