That’s only the engine. Without a better view of the rest of it one can only say Riley powered Special.

Well that site is moteur-occasion for used engines and so it will say moteur with every search, but the car is probably officially registered as a Riley too.

Probably?? What does that mean within the context of car identification? There is no available information from this image that certainly identifies it as anything in particular, and there are quite a few Riley engined Specials of that era.

If it's registered in France as a Riley I don't know what else you're going to call it. I'll change it to Custom Made 'Riley' or 'Probably Riley'.

Probably better ID is Riley Special which is broad enough to cover most possibilities, but puts it somewhere more retrievable/useful.
