Riley Two-Point-Six

Automobiles

The Riley Two-Point-Six is an automobile produced by British Motor Corporation Limited (BMC) from August 1957 until 1959. It replaced the Pathfinder as Riley's flagship model when it was announced on 23 August 1957 and was virtually identical to the Wolseley Six-Ninety Series III, with monotone and duotone paintwork, and an automatic transmission and an overdrive for the manual gearbox as options. It used the 2.6 L (2639 cc) BMC C-Series straight-6 engine, which produced 101 hp, less than the 2.5 litre Riley Big Four straight-four it replaced. It was sold to a specific clientele and never intended to be mass-produced, and it was the last large Riley, replaced by the Farina-styled Riley 4/68.
