What the hell does Willem van Strik have to invest time, energy and euros in a lifeless Riley Mk3? An old-timer whose clutch has exploded and was parked with a broken gearbox in Belgium where it has been around for years?
It goes without saying that his motherland is England, where the Riley went through 'One Point Five'. This Riley Mk3 is from 1965 and the special thing for the new owner Willem is that there are nice pictures of the car past.
Photos of where he was discovered, photos of the interior, in short, fun facts that belong to the history of the car. He is fortunate to receive help and support from the Austin Morris Riley Wolseley register, which wants to maintain the cars of these four brands.
Even though the restoration takes years, it remains wonderful to focus on your (car) hobby, which gives so much pleasure that it cannot even be expressed in euros.
