Riley ?
Yes it has a Riley chassis (from 1951)
Can you name the engine and what it was called and when it was built?
LOCKED for you until your next reply......

Found the rest of the information : the engine is a Jaguar XJ6 3.6 litre, it was built in the period 2006-2011 by Colin Wilson and the car is a Talbot 700 replica. Very nice car and according to the information bloody fast : around 250 km/h !
