…who recovers the recovery truck when it breaks down?

… put the Focus on the impounded recovery truck then the recovery truck onto the other truck. 

How many recovery trucks could a recovery truck recover if a recovery truck could recover recovery trucks?

We could all move in together and exit the 21st century over rough ground.

This is strangely appealing. 

Can we make it a cult please?

Sadly not a patch on the style of an original series 1 XJ6/12.  That Daimler for 3.5K looks a bargain.

I have to agree the Ser 1 is sublime, closely followed by Ser 2. It was just so...perfect looking when launched.

Nope. Had an S3 and it was lovely, but the original was the best. Just like the SD1 and the P6 were the same.

2dr coupe is best looking version.

Riley 15 £2500 Redditch 

https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/1954-riley-15-petrol-manual/1490737053

Now THIS is something I would enjoy!  And it's shabby enough to live outside on the street.  I like a bit of genuine patination.  It's with a dealer, wonder if he takes swops?

[lesapandre]

It's a very good price for one of those Eddy. It looks driveable too. It may have rot in the frame etc - but looks good on the surface. 

Huge club support.

Ask the dealer - they might have some want of an XJ.

MoT and Road Tax exempt too. 

[eddyramrod]

All the above has certainly crossed my mind!  I think these old Rileys are a lovely thing.  The overall style screams Dick Barton or even Biggles (look them up, kids...) and as you say, there's loads of support.  Rot in the frame would worry me but I would bet the club can supply repair sections.  It's only timber; I can (or at least could...) cope with woodwork.  I sat in one a few years ago at a show.  It's a lovely place to be.  I can almost smell the interior from the photos.

I'm selling it to myself here, aren't I?

Someone once sang, "If loving you is wrong, I don't wanna be right".

Or something.

Would.

There's your mistake, you're asking permission rather than forgiveness...

Bet she's dirty though @Rustybullethole

Actually I'm seeing a Black Country lass at the moment and she isn't exactly as pure as the driven snow. #BLbirds

[eddyramrod]

Do we have anyone within reach of that Riley (Redditch) who could go and give it a once-over for me?  Please?
