1934 Riley IMP | Upper Heyford, Northamptonshire

The Riley Imp is a compact two-seat sports car from the mid-1930s, built on a short chassis with a long bonnet, flowing wings and a short tail. It is liked for its small, lively Riley Nine engine and its sporting manner. This 1934 car is finished in deep blue, carried from the bodywork into a leather interior in the same shade. Wire wheels and Art Deco lines complete the period look, and the car is in excellent condition. Its 1000cc engine gives an even, rhythmic beat. The single colour and the long bonnet fill the frame, which suits 1930s film and TV, fashion and editorial shoots, and heritage photography. At events, the Imp works well as a showpiece because its wire wheels and curved wings draw the eye. It also makes a vintage-themed wedding car or a special day out. The car is based in Northamptonshire.
