History
Riley Pathfinder
The Pathfinder was Riley's ambitious attempt to create a large, luxurious saloon for the post-war market. Its striking pontoon bodywork was designed with wind-tunnel testing, making it one of the most aerodynamic British cars of its era. The 2.5-liter twin-cam engine provided spirited performance, though the car's weight and BMC-influenced engineering compromised some of Riley's traditional sporting character. Nevertheless, it remains a distinctive example of 1950s British luxury motoring.
