Looks like the Mazda lump then….😂😂😂😂
-
Mazda lump is actually physically smaller than the Riley engine
-
Not that common with an auto box, and apparently the MG auto isn’t great…… Mazda seems to be pretty reliable
-
MX5 twin cam and auto box looks favourite
-
Anyone fancy a project? Can deliver…. I no longer have the physical capabilities, and probably never had the skill set. Got a reasonable budget for work required

If I was just concerned about local pottering, I would actually consider this, but I would like something a little more “ in keeping “
-
Sounds appropriate…. Could you find out?
-
MX5 with automatic had occurred to me…

I don’t really want to modify brakes and suspension. Just want something with an auto box. If anyone has a simple ( pref no ECU) engine and box they want to get rid of, please let me know. Even better if someone on here ( in exchange for cash monies) could fit it for me. I have a couple of contacts, but they’re pretty busy at the moment. Can get Riley transported to pretty much anywhere

I’ve actually got stashed away a Cologne V6 and auto box
-
As I do need an automatic , I’m going to have to have a hunt around and see what I can get in there. It will not be “ hot rodded”, or interfered with beyond what is strictly necessary to install a new power plant

The Jag was lovely….. took it out for a drive, and was totally underwhelmed. Was it comfortable… not especially .. was it fast…. not especially….. and the ride was ruined by 20” wheels and rubber band tyres. And he wanted £7k for it

How can one go out to view a 2001 Jaguar coupe and end up buying an engineless 1953 Riley RME?

Apologies for thread hi jack
-
You wouldn’t believe that actually it’s a vinyl wrap. £420 to do bonnet and roof. You honestly can’t tell that it’s not been painted

Try a bit of Captain Tolly’s finest on the front screen rubber….
-
He does live near Rochdale……so the horse and cart analogy might not be too far adrift……

Tentatively floated my Scimitar on Facebook Scimitar site….. had an enquiry from someone, who after asking where I was located, decided 80 miles was “ too far”….😕
