Riley
Specialist insurance for your classic Riley.
Protect your classic Riley
Riley built its reputation on the engineering ingenuity found in its early high-mounted twin-cam pushrod engine. From early Coventry-built cars to the celebrated Brooklands, Imp, MPH and Sprite models, the marque combined technical ingenuity with a lively yet balanced drive that continues to appeal to this day.
Whether yours is a cherished Nine, Kestrel or an ash-framed RM-series saloon, your Riley carries a distinct character. It needs proper protection with a tailored insurance policy.
At Abbeyfields Insurance, we specialise in arranging classic, vintage and prestige car insurance. With decades of experience in the industry, we’ll help ensure that your Riley, and all the memories it holds, are safeguarded against the unexpected.
Why your classic Riley needs specialist insurance
Classic Rileys have a character and heritage that general motor insurers don’t always recognise. They’ll treat your Riley like any other old vehicle, which can overlook the care and attention that go into running such a historic British car.
Your Riley might be a well‑kept saloon, a cherished sports model or part of a multi-car collection. You may take it to club meets, enjoy local rallies and shows or keep it safely stored between drives. However you use it, you need insurance that reflects the way you look after your car and the importance it holds for you.
We can arrange tailored Riley insurance that ensures your car is properly protected against accidents, loss or damage, giving you confidence that your classic is covered the way it should be.
How we protect your Riley
At Abbeyfields, we’ll build your policy around you and your vehicle. We can insure Rileys of every era, from the pre-war Riley 9, 10 and 12 models to the vintage Elevens and Imps, and the later Pathfinders, Elfs and Kestrels. We can also insure rare models like the Riley Victor, and cars produced by the British Leyland Motor Corporation. Just let us know what model you own and we’ll arrange a bespoke policy, which can include:
- Limited mileage discount
- Laid‑up and SORN cover
- Optional breakdown and accident recovery
- Multi‑car discount (applied from the first vehicle)
- Motor legal expenses (optional, up to £100,000)
- Modified and custom vehicle options
- Discount for recognised Riley owners’ club members
- Some of the lowest admin fees on the market
- Dedicated account manager
You can insure your classic Riley at an agreed value at no extra cost and update it whenever you need to. If it’s written off after an accident, you’ll receive that pre‑agreed settlement, minus your policy excess. And if your car needs repairs after a claim, you’re free to choose your own Riley repairer to ensure it’s returned to its pre‑claim condition by experts who understand the history and heritage associated with this British marque that’s held in such revered status by its enthusiasts.
