500 Riley Nine Gamecock (1932) GW 3805 by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Riley Nine (1926-37) Engine 1087cc OHV S4 Chassis No: 6016106 Registration Number: GW 3805 (London) RILEY SET www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623815099454... Described as the Wonder Car, the Riley Nine was designed by Stanley and Percy Riley in 1925. The (PR) Percy Riley cylinder head, was cutting edge, with such novelties as hemispherical combustion chambers, inclined valves operating on short pushrods from high mounted camshafts. The car was good for 60mph and up to 40mpg fuel consumption, all at a cost of £ 298 for the Monaco saloon, or £ 280 for the Tourer. Introduced in 1932, the Riley 9 Gamecock featured the marque's latest Plus Ultra underslung chassis and jewel-like 1.1-litre four-cylinder engine. Fed by twin-carburettors, the latter was allied to four-speed manual transmission and promised a 70mph-plus top speed. Sporting a lightweight aluminium body, large diameter drum brakes, all-round semi-elliptic leaf springs and Duplex Andre adjustable shock absorbers, the model retains good road manners to this day. Undeniably handsome, the Gamecock was summed up by Motor Sport as ‘a neat and handy vehicle which combined a lively performance with freedom from constant tuning'. No stranger to competition, a three-strong Works team won a prestigious Coupe des Alpes (up to 1100cc class) on the 1932 International Alpine Rally. Only in production for two years, just fifty-two (or so) 9 Gamecocks are known to have survived.. Diolch am 96,820,832 o olygfeydd anhygoel, mae pob un yn cael ei werthfawrogi'n fawr.
