1930 Riley Brooklands – The Ex Pemberton-Billing/Rupert Riley
Chassis No. 8070
Engine No. 30932
Reg. No. 3W8440 (USA)
Offered for sale is a Riley 9 Brooklands from the 1930‘s. This Riley with chassis number 8070 was used in America in the 1930’s to travel from New York to Los Angeles. This ‘trip’ was controlled from England in order to promote the Nine (9HP) model series in America. During the journey, the Riley was driven to its destination by Pemberton-Billing/Ruppert Riley in under 6 days. A detailed article about the journey can be found in the documents.
After this record-breaking journey, the vehicle remained in America and was converted into a racing car with a V8 engine. In the 40s / 50s, the vehicle was then used in races in America (but there is currently no photographic evidence of this).
At the end of the 80s, 8070 was sold by Mercedes Autohaus Lueg in Düsseldorf to a Mr Krämer. This owner used the vehicle at numerous racing events, including the AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix at the Nürburgring. At this time, the V8 engine was still installed. Pictures and videos of its use are available.
In 1992, an original 1100 cc Riley Brooklands engine was installed at Barrie Gillies in England. After the installation of a matching original engine, the vehicle was used in the 1993 Klaussen race.
In 2020, this Riley was acquired by the current owner and put back into operation. The engine, gearbox and rear axle as well as the entire mechanical components were completely overhauled. After the restoration, the vehicle was used again at the Vintage Meeting at the Nürburgring in 2022.
8070 is ready for immediate use. Test drive and viewing is possible by prior arrangement.
