RILEY SPECS - 14/6
as Old as the Industry, as modern as the HourChassis Numbers
Many of the specifications pages refer to Chassis Numbers for certain elements of the information. As a result I have felt it necessary to include a page to help decipher the Chassis Number of your car. In many cases, this will also allow you to identify the original engine and bodystyle that the car carried.The 14/6 engine was the second major launch of the late 1920's. Essentially a 'nine' with an extra two cylinders, it provided Riley with a fresh range topping model. A range of coachbuilt bodies were offered initially, dominated by the Alpine Saloon (roughly a large Monaco). However, by the early 1930's, the range was looking more familiar, headed by the Kestrel and Lynx, alongside the Alpine.
