Riley Sprite

Automobiles

The Riley Sprite was a two seater open sports car built by Riley Motors from 1935 to 1938. It followed the company's earlier Imp and MPH sports cars and used a chassis based on that of the preceding MPH. Most Sprites had four cylinder engines, although a six cylinder engine was offered as an alternative. The model was a success in racing, especially in the form of the Riley T.T. Sprite, and that success led Riley to adopt the Sprite name as the designation of the top end, sportier model in its contemporary Kestrel saloon range.
