This was shot in the Marina district of San Francisco. It is a wonderful example of the post-war British motorcar. This Riley had a wooden chassis like the Morgans’. This one was manufactured for export. It is a left-hand drive car.
The RMA was the first post-war Riley. It used the 1.5 L engine and was equipped with hydro-mechanical brakes and an independent suspension using torsion bars in front. The frame was made of wood in the English tradition, and the car featured traditional styling. The car was capable of reaching 75 mph (121 km/h). The RMA was produced from 1945 until 1952 when it was replaced by the RME
