Riley 9 2-seater Coupe (1929-30)

For 1930 the 2 seater was revised and now described as a Coachbuilt Coupe. The difference appears to be that cars were now only available with metal clad bodies, rather than the fabric bodies of some earlier versions. The general shape of the car seems to have been largely unchanged, and this can also be said of the revised 1931 model which had the plus ultra chassis and was renamed as the 2 seater Drophead.
