Of course it may be that grey is the original colour and the owner never got around to notifying the licensing authorities what he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's still around. The story is fairly unusual in that he must have fibreglass moulded the complete body from the original Riley one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeeExEll Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Some BLMC Australia prototype fwd V8 Landcrabbery from 1969. Story is mainly about the Leyland P76 but includes some info on the short but rather fascinating Landcrab 4.2 V8 development. Scans are not the best quality and one page appears to be missing, but the gist of the story is there. Click on the pic to make it clearer. Just the thought of a factory-issue fwd Rover V8-powered Landcrab!!! Imagine if they'd continued the design onto the Princess. garethj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to get it from the village newsagent as a nipper. I remember thinking that Riley was the coolest thing ever....I still do, come to think of it! Of course I've bought countless mags since, but it's the ones in HC that stick in my brain. Austat and JeeExEll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeeExEll Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Possibly repost, can't remember. There are reg numbers for some of the cars in the 2nd ad, haven't checked out any with DVLA. Would guess 1975. Current inflation calculator says multiply by 8.6 for 1975. Anglia estate for £60 in first ad. garethj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
