Cool! The Sebring race track has vingage car races before the 12 hour race...always good to see the history of motorcar racing played out again! :) Jack
Excellent video. It is nice to see some original footage.
I used to own a Wols. 1500 but it obviously never sounded like that or went as fast that is a lumpy cam you have installed. Now I own a Westminster, the only one in Spain.
Great vid, I really got a soft spot for Riley 1.5 tc, when I was a young kid my dad had two in the 60's and 70's (showing my age here), What surprises me about this vid is why you couldnt beat the inferior Wolsley 1.5 with just single carb? And was that an Aston Martin you passed? Any way dont recall my dad driving anywhere nere as fast. Best of British!!
Love the video, it took me back to my yooff

Don't know why people get excited over Formula one racing. Most of the "scraps" are in court after the finish! BORING.
THIS is real racing.

I'm afraid there will be no appearance of the Riley at snetterton in march 2009 - we've just blown the engine up! Testing at Snetterton....

Oh no to be beaten to the first corner by a A30 but then again as long as no ones hurt its all good racing mate. Owen Australia

Hi, Thanks for the comments.
The rules allow the Wolseley to run the same carbs as us - hence we are closely matched. Yes it was an Aston Martin DB2!
Cheers.
