Riley 12/6 Falcon. (1934-35)
The Falcon 12/6 was only ever a coachbuilt body, with the model being discontinued before the Briggs contract was signed. It was essentially the same as that on the 15/6 chassis, a fairly traditional upright saloon, offering an alternative to the rakish sporting pretentions of the Kestrel.
