Riley 14/6 Alpine Half-Panel Saloon

Riley 14/6 Alpine Half Panel (VC9199)




The Alpine Saloon was the updated Light-Six Saloon, and now available as either a Fabric, or Half-Panelled Saloon. It was built on the Shorter of the two chassis used for the 6-cylinder cars and provided a slightly smaller model than the coachbuilt Stelvio II. There was only one difference between the fabric and half panelled versions of the Alpine, with this model having steel panels below the waist while the fabric body model was externally entirely fabric apart from the bonnet and wings. The car was replaced by the all steel 1933 Alpine.
Of the four Alpine / Saloon models, this is likely to have been the best seller, as Fabric bodies were going out of fashion in the early 1930s. Confusion with chassis numbers makes it impossible to differentiate old records, but between them approximately 350 were built, and it is likely that around a third were the half panelled Alpine.
