This 1950 Riley RME is a beautifully preserved example of classic British motoring, proudly maintained by the same owner for the past 43 years. A rare sight on today?s roads, the RME was part of Riley?s postwar lineup and combined elegant styling with advanced engineering for its time. With a strong history of maintenance and tasteful restoration touches, this example is both a driver?s car and a collector?s gem.
Power comes from a 1496cc inline 4-cylinder engine, known for its durability and smooth operation. The engine was rebuilt at 78,804 miles, ensuring strong and reliable performance. Paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, the car delivers a spirited and engaging driving experience that?s true to its era. With 82,320 miles currently shown, the car has clearly been driven with care and maintained to a high standard.
The exterior was repainted in 2014 in a handsome Black and Maroon two-tone finish, which enhances its vintage charm while maintaining a classic British look. Original trim and styling details remain intact, and the car's proportions and flowing lines stand out as a hallmark of Riley craftsmanship. The matching Maroon interior has been well kept, offering a rich and inviting cabin that reflects both age and attention to preservation.
With long-term ownership, a documented engine rebuild, and careful cosmetic updates, this 1950 Riley RME represents a wonderful opportunity for any enthusiast of postwar European classics. Whether taken to shows, driven on weekend outings, or added to a growing collection, it offers timeless elegance and a proud ownership history few others can match.

Garage Kept Motors, LLC specializes in classic and specialty online auto sales.
For our consignors, we are the only auto brokers that offer a Transparent Sale Disclosure. This means, when a car sells, we provide an exact copy of the Bill of Sale. We do this so our clients know exactly who bought their car, where it went, and most importantly how much we sold it for. No funny business.
For our buyers, our vehicles are listed on the Internet, with over 100 photos, including undercarriage pictures, and walk-around videos of the vehicles running plus a narrative-style write-up of the cars history and features. Our international exposure allows us to sell cars across the globe, and we sell a majority of them out of state and overseas. We deliver honesty and consistency in our photos and descriptions, a “no surprise” approach, so buyers, both near and far, can invest with confidence sight unseen. We are not a gallery. Vehicles can be seen locally by appointment as potential buyers are given our undivided attention.
