Riley 9 Monaco. (1927-29)

The Riley 9 was launched at the 1926 Motor show, and went on sale early in 1927. The First body avaliable on this new chassis was the Monaco.
The new car was first seen at the Shelsey Walsh Hill Climb in the summer of '26, and recieved numerous enquiries.

It was launched to fill a gap in the British Motor Industry - that of a small, luxury, light car. Several unique features, for it's class, were a low centre of gravity, built in boot, fabric body and Saloon rather than tourer bodywork. The mechanicals was also innovative, with Overhead valves, twin Camshafts, hellical gearbox, with constant mesh on 3rd & top, and a single UJ at the front end of the torque tube.

All in all, the Riley 9 set the standard for all light cars until the outbreak of WW2.
