Spotted on the Road: Riley 1969 Saloon

As we were leaving the Museum of Liverpool, I noticed one last exhibit, just next to the door, that didn’t seem to fit any of the many themes of the museum (which is definitely worth a few visits!)…this well-kept small car, the size of most of today’s small hatchbacks.

What particularly caught my eye were the specs. It was not an expensive car, as the sign shows, but it sports leather seats and a very nicely-fitted passenger cabin, as well as dual carburetors, something I usually think of in connection with big American V8s of the period.

I’m disappointed you never spotted the Motorbike used by Hagrid in Harry Potter. Sections filmed in Liverpool and in the underwater Mersey Tunnel.

A Royal Enfield model called the Bullet Classic. I should never have doubted your eye for a classic like this !
