Royal Riley Quadricycle 2¾hp (1901-02)

For 1901, Riley changed engine supplier and sourced a larger 2¾hp engine from CCC. As little else changed in the specification, this would have provided a little more power than the older 2¼hp Quadricycle, but it is likely that the vehicle was still hard work on hills. This was the last 4 wheel Riley before a 3 year break until the first real car was launched in 1905.
