In 1965 BMC added a Riley badged version to its ever expanding 1100/1300 range. Available in 1100 Kestrel and later 1300 forms the new cars were little more than "badge-engineered" versions of the rest of the 1100/1300 family, being closely related to the MG variants.
Like the MG versions the Riley Kestrel and 1300 made use of the mildly tuned twin carb A-Series engines, the last 1300s were blessed with 70bhp which produced lively performance figures. All Riley 1100/1300 cars were well equipped and trimmed, featuring two-tone paint, leather seats and wood trim. Production disappeared along with the rest of the Riley marque in 1969.
