EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past, yet experience the future with the iconic Riley Kestrel Saloon Car. Established in 1890, Riley is a name synonymous with the rich history of the automobile industry. Yet, this mono illustration with vibrant color borders showcases a Riley Kestrel that is as modern as the hour. Riley, the esteemed motorcar and bicycle manufacturer, has been a part of the motoring landscape for over four decades. In the 1930s, Riley's innovative designs and engineering prowess were on full display with the introduction of the Kestrel Saloon Car. This sleek and stylish vehicle was a testament to Riley's commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive technology. The RAC Hastings Rally of 1933 provided the perfect stage for the Riley Kestrel Saloon Car to shine. With its powerful engine and agile handling, the Kestrel proved to be a formidable competitor in the rallies. This back cover advertisement from the special supplement of the event captures the essence of Riley's legacy - a blend of tradition and innovation that continues to captivate motoring enthusiasts. Riley's storied history includes becoming part of the Nuffield Organisation in 1938 and later the British Leyland Motor Corporation in 1968. Although production of Riley cars ceased in the late 1960s, the Riley trademark is still owned by BMW today. This illustration is a reminder of Riley's enduring influence on the automotive world and its continued relevance in the 21st century.
