Giving your Riley the respect it deserves
We established our workshop in 1974 to give Riley owners a place where they can get the specialist care their car needs.
Over the years, we have built, repaired, serviced and restored sports, saloon and touring cars, as well as racing specials, including the 1938/9 Peking to Paris 16hp car. We also have an extensive spares department offering parts for all Riley models from 1927-1939.
Understanding the complexities and idiosyncrasies of heritage vehicles is what makes our specialist mechanics stand apart. They see it as their duty to protect and preserve the groundbreaking engineering Riley became famous for and work sympathetically to recover and revive original features where possible and appropriate. They’re also impassioned about sharing their expertise with the next generation of engineers and work closely with our apprentices to make sure they are ready and able for the responsibility that lies ahead.
Our Bicester Heritage headquarters offers a test track facility so customers can drive home knowing their Riley is road ready. Rest assured; we care about your Riley as much as you do and will treat it with the respect it deserves.
The Southend workshop is our engine building and race prep facility, this includes an engine dyno to allow us to thoroughly test any work carried out. Our team at Southend have prepared cars that have won a number of the major historical race events, including Le Mans Classic (index of performance) Monaco Historique, VSCC Sprint and Hillclimb championship and the VSCC Speed Series.
