RILEY SPECS - 15/6

as Old as the Industry, as modern as the Hour

Chassis 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 15/6 engine was a slightly larger capacity 14/6 to push the model away from the new 12/4 models. Some of the bespoke 14/6 bodies were fitted to 15/6 chassis, but the bulk of sales came from the Falcon-Kestrel-Lynx trio, and later the Adelphi.
