History

1950 Riley RMA Saloon

LXD 590

First registered on 1st December 1950 in London, the vehicle then moved to the West Country and latterly to Cambridgeshire before being bought by the current owners in 1983.

It was one of 682 built for the home market in 1950 at a price of £833.

The car which has a 1,496cc engine has a top speed of 80 mph. The brake system was very advanced for its time with hydraulic front and rod operated rear, effectively a dual system.

The body was renovated in 1996 but the interior still has its original leather upholstery.

Based in the heart of the new forest, since 1987 Genevieve Vintage Car Hire (Registration #2275727) has built up an enviable reputation for reliability and quality in the provision of chauffeur driven vintage, veteran and classic cars for weddings in the Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset areas.  .

The fleet currently numbers 11 and includes rare and imposing vehicles such as a 1920 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Salamanca Cabriolet Collapsible and a 1929 Rolls-Royce 20 Landaulette.

The cars are maintained by vintage car engineers and driven by knowledgeable and skilful enthusiasts.  Period uniforms are usually worn with the older cars.

No more than one wedding per day is undertaken by any one car and with the number of cars in stock we will always have a spare car and driver, in the very unlikely event of any mechanical failure on the day.
