The Riley Kestrel manufactured from 1967 to 1969, was a more upscale version of the BMC ADO16 range, sharing its design with the Austin and Morris 1100/1300 models but featuring a more luxurious interior and a distinctive Riley grille. It was available with a 1275cc engine in later models, offering peppy performance for its class. The Kestrel was one of the last cars to wear the Riley badge before the marque was discontinued.
