Introduced in 1946, the Riley RMB was one of the first British cars launched after WW2 to feature a new chassis design. With independent torsion-bar front suspension, rack and pinion steering and strong 90mph performance from its gutsy 'twin-cam' 2443cc, four-cylinder engine the RMB was deservedly praised by the contemporary motoring press for its excellent ride and handling qualities. Its successor, the RMF arrived in 1951 featuring a host of mechanical revisions. An open propshaft now linked the four-speed manual gearbox to a new hypoid bevel rear axle, while stopping power improved courtesy of Girling hydraulic brakes and the enlarged rear window gave welcome extra visibility. In production for less than two years, just 1,050 RMFs are thought to have been sold.
