At the end of May 1967 BMC announced the fitting of a larger 1275 cc engine to the Riley Kestrel, along with the MG, Vanden Plas and Wolseley variants, so that the Kestrel became the Kestrel 1275. The new car combined the 1275 cc engine block already familiar to drivers of newer Mini Cooper S and Austin-Healey Sprite models with the 1100 transmission. The Kestrel 1275 was a quicker car than the Kestrel 1100.
