Description
1935 Riley TT Sprite Special
Probably the best special there is!
The basic basis for the TT Sprite was a Kestrel chassis from 1935, which was converted by Alan Clear in Great Britain in 1988. Alan Clear is the specialist for Riley Special models.
This Riley has been driven in numerous events and is therefore tried and tested and reliable! In addition, thanks to its enormous power, the Wilson Pre-Select gearbox and its low weight, it is very fast and always at the front.
