We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided RILEY OTHER 1937 Registration number: AWS 382 Body type: Saloon Colour: Black Date of first registration: May 1937 ✓ Taxed Tax due: 1 July 2021 Cylinder capacity 1749 cc

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-09-17 21:17	There was a 1 1/2 litre fastback saloon called a Kestrel, the wipers match, the doors match, but S & G say 1496cc, not 1749cc. There was also a 1937/8 15/6 Kestrel but seemingly not fitted with those top hung wipers, and had a chromed grille. The 14/6 Kestrel finished in 1934. Typical Riley minefield. S & G - “too many models and not enough capital forced the company to sell out to Morris in 1938.” Link to "commons.wikimedia.org" but with 15/6 engine? Sprite means uprated engine, but still same cc. http://rileyrob.co.uk/specs/15-6/. 1729cc could be this engine. http://rileyrob.co.uk/specs/15-6/kestrel6/ So IMO, Riley 15/6 Kestrel but with earlier style coachwork, but not cast in tablets of stone. -- Last edit: 2020-09-17 22:21:46

LoonyLady ◊ 2022-02-23 03:57	This car is a 1937 15/6 Kestrel as determined. It is gorgeously original, and I have had the joy of driving it across the South Downs. This model ran concurrently with the 12/4 ('36-'38 model years). Some confusion may lie in the fact that 1938 models of both varieties had a chromed grille & wipers mounted at the bottom of the windscreen, etc. Earlier models didn't, of which this is one.
