The smaller bodied 1.5 liter Riley One-Point-Five sports saloon, which had stayed in production beside the 4/Sixty Eight and 4/Seventy Two since 1959 and had the same engine as the larger car in a milder tune, continued until 1965. The 4/Seventy Two was by then the only Riley of its kind, the most expensive car in the series of five Pininfarina styled BMC cars. The One-Point-Five had been the smaller Riley since 1957, using the same engine in a milder state of tune.
