The

Riley RM Series

is an

executive car

which was produced by

Riley

from 1945 to 1955. It was the last model developed independently by

Riley

prior to the 1952 merger of Riley's still new owner

Nuffield , with

Austin

to form

BMC . The RM series was originally produced in

Coventry , but in 1949 production moved to the

MG

works at

Abingdon . The RM models were marketed as the

Riley 1½ Litre

and the

Riley 2½ Litre. [1]

There were three types of RM vehicles produced. All used Riley engines with four cylinders in-line, hemispherical combustion chambers and twin camshafts mounted high at the sides of the cylinder block.

The RMA was a large

saloon , and was replaced by the RME. Both used a 1.5 L (1496 cc) 12 hp (RAC Rating), developed before WWII.

The RMA was the first post-war

Riley . It was announced in August 1945 with the news it would become available in the autumn. [5]

It used the 1.5 L engine and was equipped with hydro-mechanical brakes and an

independent suspension

using torsion bars in front. The body frame (not to be confused with the

chassis ) was made of wood in the English tradition, and the car featured traditional styling. The car was capable of reaching 75 mph (121 km/h). The RMA was produced from 1945 until 1952 when it was replaced by the

RME .
