From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Riley 4/68 and 4/72 are cars produced by BMC from April 1959 through the 1960s. They are related to the Pinin Farina-designed Austin A55 Cambridge, MG Magnette Mk. III, Morris Oxford V, and Wolseley 15/60, sharing the MG's rear styling and engine (with a milder cam).
Another related car was the 1959–1965 Di Tella1500/Traveller/Argenta of Argentina.
[edit] Riley 4/68
The 4/Sixty-Eight used the twin-carburettor B-Series straight-4 engine, producing 64 hp (48 kW). This was 6 hp (4.5 kW) more than the similar Wolseley.
[edit] Riley 4/72
For 1961, the car became the 4/Seventy-Two. The engine was now 1.6 L (1622 cc), and Riley again got the twin-carb version with 68 hp (51 kW). It also used an improved suspension with anti-roll bars. The chassis was 1 in (25.4 mm) longer in wheelbase and wider as well. This model was also sold as the Riley Comet in Austria.
