Ok, I just had to get it. It's a 1960 Riley One Point Five. Hasn't been on the road since 1980 and thankfully it hasn't been modified until I get to it
The One Point Fives were made on the Morris Minor platform so it has a Minor rear end and suspension , so torsion bars up front and leafs at the rear. The big difference is that it has the 1500 B-series from the MGA range so it will scoot quite nicely.
Plans, if they work out, is to add an 1800 with an overdrive transmission, disc brakes and a slightly lower suspension. Eventually it will get a nice red leather interior and a grey or blue paint job.
Thankfully I have an original "pink" slip with the black license plate number on it so I should have no problem registering it and retaining the original registration number.
I will add more pictures this weekend.

Wow, that looks really nice. Is that a Pathfinder parked next to it?

Yes it is. I am sure he is willing to sell it too.
