Just joined the forum, from Australia, and a proud (?) owner of a 1935 Riley Falcon, amongst other stuff.

Hello Nick
Not sure how many are in Australia in total, but there are only two with the opening rear window. This is a very optional extra from new, and very effective in our weather for through flow ventilation without becoming windblown.
With the preselector gearbox and excellent brakes it is a very useable car, even in modern traffic.

Over here the rear windows wouldn't be opened that often :)

Just got to say......SWEET.

Very nice and very envious, both of the car and the sunshine too.

Though I don't envy you boys the spiders and other creepy crawlies you have over there ;)

Yes, the Queensland winter is the best place to be, summer can be a little tropical.
