SRE - www.sre.gb.net/
In 1988 a small band of Riley owners organised a Scottish National Riley Weekend. This was the first event in Scotland for all Riley owners, regardless of Riley model, to meet and enjoy a social weekend. Thus the seeds were sown for a club north of the border that catered for owners of all Riley cars. Three years later the SRE was established as an umbrella organisation to actively link Scottish members of the three national clubs – Riley Register, RM Club and the Riley Motor Club.
One of the key features of the SRE is that we welcome ALL Riley owners of ALL models, regardless of condition; in fact you don’t even have to own a Riley or live in Scotland to be a member – just have an interest in the marque.

Ulster Riley club - www.ulsterrileyclub.co.uk/
In spring 1969, just as the last Riley rolled off the production lines, a handful of Riley Register members in Northern Ireland met to share information, soon enquiries rolled in from distressed Riley owners keen to join the group. Numbers quickly became so big that in January 1970 a meeting decided that we must institute something a little bit formal - the Ulster Riley club.

Riley Farina register - www.mg-cars.org.uk/farina/known.html
This comprehensive list is compiled from the Austin Cambridge and Westminster Car Club; the Cambridge and Oxford Owners Club; the Riley Motor Club; the M.G. Car Club; and individual owners who belong to none of these organisations.
In 1994 a media campaign was run to trace all the Farina M.G. and Riley cars. From this a shock discovery was made that the 4/68 and Mk3 M.G. were indeed very rare cars. The Mk4 M.G. was better off, but the best survivor is the Riley 4/72, almost twice all the others added together
Riley Elf and Wolseley Hornet register - www.elf-hornet-register.co.uk/index.html
After the Mini was launched in August 1959, BMC started work on an up market 'booted' saloon version. This was first seen in 1961 as the Wolseley Hornet, and Riley Elf, as in early pre-war models, the Elf was the sporty version.

Riley Cars Archive Heritage Trust (RCAHT) - rileycarsarchive.org./
Not a club but well worth a mention - In 2014 a long standing, but by then inactive, Riley based trust was about to be disbanded. Concurrently two other independent groups were actively promoting the Riley marque and by good fortune the three came together and gradually morphed into what is now The Riley Cars Archive Heritage Trust.

The Inter-Register Club - www.inter-register.org.uk/index.htm is an association of one-marque car clubs for pre-war cars (including the Riley register). Its sole purpose is to run a series of events each year to exercise those cars (and their owners). Back in the fifties most single marque clubs realised that they could not raise enough interest within their own clubs to make events like rallies viable and were too small to warrant affiliation to the Motor Sports Association (MSA). This precluded them from legally running competitive events on public roads. To overcome this problem a number of them got together and formed the Inter-Register Club (IRC) which is affiliated to the MSA and permitted to run events on the public roads.
