keef Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Got my eye on a Riley 1100 in Norwich. Anyone got a trailer or flatbed and interested in quoting to pick it up for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycox Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Probably not much help but I've got a Transit with a tow bar... I'd do it for the price of the diesel if you could borrow/ hire a trailer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keef Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Found a guy in Norwich that recovered it for me in the end. Highly recommended - n.fairweather@ntlworld,com.Here's the car anyway :-http://tiny.homelinux.com/gallery2/main ... temId=3011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Lived in/around Norwich most of its life judging by the plate. Must’ve been a very different place then, I suspect I would have seen some of its sister cars in Medler’s yard in the ‘90s.I’ll work out postage on that manual for you at some point soon, I haven’t forgotten honest… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Lived in/around Norwich most of its life judging by the plate.Yep, I think so. Think it was brought second-hand by the husband of the last recorded keeper on the V5. Original green Registration Book shows two previous keepers first in Buxton the second in Norwich itself.I’ll work out postage on that manual for you at some point soon, I haven’t forgotten honest…No problem: thanks.

Jazzy Jeff Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Thats gorgeous. I think I may purchase an ADO16 in the near future. I've been having a look for a while. There is a lovely one on eBay in Ripley. But with no Tax or MOT, and with no access to a trailer available do I put a bid in and drive it back with my fingers crossed?Decisions decisions, either that or there is one also on eBay in Lincolnshire being sold my an UTTER MENTALIST who appears to be Raymanboy's cousin.

keef Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 with no access to a trailer available do I put a bid in and drive it back with my fingers crossed?Not worth the risk, unless it is MOTable, then as long as you get it insured you can legally drive it to an MOT station.Other than that Bowater & Son - 07956 272315 or Classic Collections & Recovery - 07713 769720 both offer an excellent recovery service.
