1933 Rileys

I photographed these two cars in the paddock at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in June 1993.

They're two of the four Rileys entered by Barrie Gillies for the Richard Seaman Memorial Historic Trophy race and the programme of the event gave this information:

'Barrie Gillies has two alternative Riley Six entries, either his 1933 Dixon Riley of 1,991 cc or his Treen Riley with tubular chassis of the same capacity, while his son Mark has to choose between  the 1936 Brooke Special Riley of 1,991 cc or the famous supercharged White Riley, forerunner of the ERAs, of 1,488 cc.'

The car on the left is the Dixon Riley, and on the right is the White Riley.
