I'm forwarding this to the list, as it is of general interest. I saw this car
at the Montery Historics in '94- A nice car indeed. I wouldn't mind
"maintaining" it, and driving it would be better still.
Now there's a subject- we have the Vintage Race list, and the Pre-war British
cars list- How many of the Pre-war folks race their cars? I race an AH Sprite,
but my MG PA is a street car only. One of these days, I'd like to have a
Prewar vintage racer.

Dear Roger:
I maintain a Riley - the "Beasley Special"; owned by a
gentleman from Beverly Hills, CA. Car is based on a '29 Monaco
chassis, uses a 12/4 engine and gearbox. Alledgedly built in the
early fifties, the car came to the U.S. about 12-15 years ago,
wnet through three or four owners until acquired by it's present
owner, who completed the restoration about four years ago. We
have been racing the car in vintage events since, and were lucky
enough to be invited to Pebble Beach year before last. If you wish
more information, please RSVP, and I will see what I can do.
Regards,
