Few pre-war sports cars combine competition pedigree, rarity and distinctive styling quite like the Riley MPH. Developed from Riley’s successful racing programme of the 1930s, the MPH was effectively a racing car for the road, powered by a six-cylinder engine and featuring the low-slung, sporting character that has made the model one of the Coventry marque’s most celebrated cars.

This exceptional example is MPH No. 7, chassis number 44T 2255, first registered on 19 November 1935 to Stanley Hodgkinson of Botleigh Grange near Southampton, carrying the registration AOT 855. Unusually, the car was fitted with a more spacious Bertelli body, built by the coachbuilder associated with Aston Martin, and research by Riley specialist Robin Cameron suggests AOT 855 may be the only Riley MPH to feature Bertelli coachwork.

The car has enjoyed a fascinating history, passing through a succession of notable owners before crossing the Atlantic to California in 1964. It returned to Britain in 1974 and was subsequently acquired by collector Fuad Majzub, who commissioned Automobile Restorations to rebuild the car. Following years in storage, the MPH was eventually acquired in 2004 and underwent a full concours-standard restoration before being enthusiastically campaigned in Vintage Sports-Car Club events.
