"6.0 for Technical Merit but -6.0 for Presentation, putting them in the Silver Medal position behind the Kempton"

I found this on Wiki and searching on DVLA it is still taxed for the road.

Here's another...

   

There are a handful of the Open Road version around too. Equally lovely. Someone might remind me what they are called...

Peter, the 6-cylinder was the Newbury, and then there was the smaller 10-4 Ripley.

I tried to buy one of the open ones a few years back, it looked perfect for touring France with a growing family!

I like the Tourers and the Saloons.

Like big Grasshoppers!

I am pretty certain there is a Ripley in a barn not too far from me, utterly unused for a long time. The use I would really look forward to seeing would be Ruairidh doing his Grasshopper imitations and trialling one! Clee Hills entries just opened, where could I find a sacrificial Kempton to chase the Ulsters and specials?
