Riley one point Five

[vping]

Does anyone know anything about these cars. What their rarity or worth is? I may have come across a 4 door RHD. Can they be converted into a left hand drive?
Supposedly the car has been in a warehouse for 20 plus years, has not run in awhile & has some rot in the floors.
Are there replacement parts available for the body? I know it has an MG engine in it.
Any info will be helpful. Thanks.

This may give you a bit more info

The Riley has the same engine/trans as the MGA, so the "MG" forum may be able to help you more.

Also, the "Other British Car" forum will be a good place to post your questions.

It's a very cool car. I hope you get it and do something great with it.

The platform is like a slightly enlarged Morris Minor, adn they were fitted with the 1500 'B' type engine & gearbox. They were very like the Wolseley 1500, except they had 2 SUs and mild tuning.
Nice little cars, and like most BMC cars of that era, parts from various vehicles are swappable.
I don't know about LHD conversion, but I'd be looking at the very similar Nash Metropolitan as a source of compatible parts. I'm not sure, but the Nash platform might be the same and maybe you'd get help with your floor, too.
