It is with great enthusiasm that this work is welcomed by those on the Committee of the Riley Register who have been aware of the gestation of this Index over a lengthy period. Some avid readers of the Bulletin will have toyed at some stage with the thought of generating for their own use some kind of index for ease of accessibility to technical and general information. I suspect that they will soon have realised the enormity of the task which confronted them. Adrian Vine is to be applauded for the many, many hours of devoted work which he has put in to make all of our lives easier and more enjoyable. This is no mean project: it is the result of much thought and deliberation, not only on the part of Adrian but on many others who have been involved in its evolution. I have found it a particular pleasure to have had the opportunity to edit this work. There will inevitably be errors and room will undoubtedly be seen for improvement. I hope that readers who use this tool will bring to Adrian's or to my attention any errors that they may find and indeed suggestions for making the Index that much easier to use. This is an ongoing opus. As further Bulletins are published, supplements will be generated, to enable the Index to be kept reasonably up to date. Information regarding these updates will be mentioned from time to time in the Newsletter and probably in the Bulletin itself. This is the printed version of the Bulletin Index. Some members with computers will find the task of search and find that much easier if they also possess the disk version. If they wish to avail themselves of (in my opinion) an even more useful tool then they should invest the modest outlay involved and obtain the disk version. Details of how to order are included in a tear-off section at the very end of this booklet. On a personal note, it has been my pleasure to have worked on the production of this Register asset and I hope that readers will obtain as much use and enjoyment, not to say education, out of familiarity with it and of the numerous issues of the Bulletin which have appeared over the years, as I have. You will find that it is very easy to get side-tracked into looking up references other than the one you intended. That is part of the adventure. Enjoy! David Allberry June 1997

Introduction

The Bulletin of the Riley Register was first published as stencilled sheets on 11th July, 1954. It has continued uninterrupted since then, becoming a printed booklet with Issue No.16 in July, 1958, although No. 98 was sent out as typed sheets due to difficulties in printing. At the time of writing a total of 165 Bulletins have been produced, which together form a work of reference of some magnitude. Although four very modest indexes have been printed over the years, the need for a comprehensive index has been long overdue, and has now become essential if the valuable information contained in the Bulletins is be speedily accessed. The purpose of this Index is to make such access both possible and convenient. To get maximum benefit from this Index, the reader will require a full set of Bulletins. Past copies that are out of print may be bought second-hand as and when they occur. Many back issues, some reprints and occasionally second-hand copies are available from the Register's Back Issues Manager. They are sometimes advertised in the Newsletter and can also be found at Autojumbles. NB Some years ago Issue No 2 was re-typed and circulated. The "reprint" was not an exact copy of the original. References in this Index do conform to the original as issued by the Riley Register. Additionally, with Bulletin No 127 a separate article "Defining the Status Quo" was included and with No 129 a separate "Letters to the Editor" section was issued. Use of the Index is largely self-evident, but some notes of explanation are necessary:

Instructions for Use

References give Bulletin number first, then page number, e.g. 36-21 is page 21 of Bulletin No. 36. A small 'c' after a number refers to the front cover, e.g. 101c is the cover of Bulletin No. 101. More than one reference in a particular Bulletin is indicated thus: 87-6/19/32, - see pages 6, 19 and 32 in Bulletin No. 87. Several Appendices will be found at the end of the Index. Each Appendix contains articles which have not lent themselves to practicable inclusion in the main Index, but which nevertheless form a substantial and very important part of the information to be found in the Bulletins. It will be seen that these articles are arranged according to subject-matter, each subject forming a separate Appendix. The articles in each Appendix have been arranged alphabetically by title, and a note of the content and of the author is also given. In a few instances only has reference to these Appendices been made in the main Index, and it is recommended that the reader becomes familiar with this part of the Index at the outset if maximum benefits are to be gained. It is particularly important that readers who require information about restoration, renovation and repairs should refer to the Appendices. Some features of the Bulletin have been entirely omitted from this Index. These are the regular items such as Editorials, Rally Reports, AGM Reports, Racing Reports, Secretary's Notes, Area News and Notes, and so on. A note of each of these regular features is included in the text of the Index, which refers the reader to the issue in which it appeared. If the date of the feature is known, it will take very little time in which to pull out the relevant two or three Bulletins from the bookshelf and find the required feature by means of reference to the Contents page included in each issue. A further source of valuable information regarding specific Riley motor cars is the annual Coventry Rally Programme. Reference has not been made in this Index to these programmes. This Index has taken a considerable amount of time to compile, and although every care has been taken over the task it is inevitable that it should contain errors. If future editions are to be more accurate, it is essential that mistakes are corrected. It would therefore be greatly appreciated if a note of any errors found is sent to the address below. Any suggestions for improvement are likewise welcome. A final observation concerns motor car Registration Numbers. These are arranged alphabetically where they occur as lists in the Index, not counting the first letter in marks consisting of three letters. For example APX 206, DX 4920 and T 6381 would be arranged T 6381 first, DX 4920 next, and APX 206 last. This follows the protocol adopted by registration authorities since, in the case of a three-letter index mark, the first letter is merely a prefix and the significant letters are the second and third.
