Riley Pathfinder

The Riley Pathfinder was a passenger of Riley.

Description

The model replaced the 1953 Riley RMF as a vehicle of the upper middle class.

It was planned as a " Riley RMH " and was constructed in 1952 as the last real Riley automobile prior to the merger of the Nuffield Organisation and Austin to the British Motor Corporation. He has the "Big Four" - four -cylinder OHV in-line engine of its predecessor with two camshafts and 2443 cc capacity. This developed in the Pathfinder 110 bhp (81 kW ) and accelerates the car to 161 km / h He had a separate frame with independent suspension with torsion bars front and rear, a solid axle with coil springs (for production end instead of leaf springs ). In 1956 there was an optional automatic transmission.

This body also published in 1953 the Wolseley 6/90, as the Riley designed in Morris (Gerald Palmer ).

In 1957, the shortlived Riley Pathfinder from 2.6 has been replaced, which was also derived from the Wolseley 6/90.
