*Older restoration presenting well
*Running well
*First owner kept it for 55 years


Offering small-sized saloon sophistication, the Riley 9 Monaco saloon remains a highly usable pre-war model and this 1933 example, whose first owner kept it until 1988, is said to start and run very well, while the running gear and electrical system are in good order. Despite being restored between 1988 and 1991 the black bodywork still presents well, other than some shrinking to the roof material: the engine bay remains supremely tidy. The interior imparts an air of cars way more expensive and remains in good order throughout although there are some small holes in the front passenger seat. The headlining has been replaced. In all a highly desirable Monaco, of which few examples come to market.
