Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Riley Pathfinder shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Riley Pathfinder offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Riley Pathfinder at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Riley Pathfinder? Wrong! If the Riley Pathfinder is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Riley Pathfinder then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Riley Pathfinder wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Riley Pathfinder then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

{{Infobox Automobile|image =|name =Riley Pathfinder|manufacturer =British Motor Corporation|production =1953-1957
5152|class =fullsize car|predecessor =[Riley RM#RMF|successor =Riley Two-Point-Six|engine =2.5 L Twin cam [Straight-4-->

The Pathfinder replaced the Riley RM#RMF as Riley (automobile)'s top-line automobile.

Designed as the "RMH" just before the 1952 merger of Riley-parent, the Nuffield Organisation, with Austin Motor Company to form British Motor Corporation, the Pathfinder is seen as the last proper Riley car. It used Riley's 110 hp (82 kW) 2.5 L (2443 cc) twin-cam, "Big Four" straight-4 engine and had a separate chassis with coil spring rear (this was changed to leaf springs towards the end of production) and front torsion bar independent suspension. From 1956 an overdrive gearbox became optional. The gear lever was floor mounted by the driver's door with the front corner of the seat squab contoured so as to allow three to seat in the front.

The body was similar to the Wolseley Motor Company Wolseley 6/90. Both cars were launched in 1953, and both were designed by Morris Motor Company' Gerald Palmer (car designer) for the Nuffield Organisation before the merger. All Pathfinders featured the front independent suspension developed from the Riley RM#RMF, but the sophisticated Riley rear suspension was replaced by a conventional leaf spring type in the last few examples. An essential part of the location of the rear axle was a Panhard rod which on some early examples sheared on hard cornering resulting in the unfortunate 'Ditchfinder' nickname.

The Pathfinder was replaced by the short-lived Wolseley 6/90-derived Riley Two-Point-Six in 1957.

Engine:

• 2.5 L (2443 cc) Straight-4, 110 hp (82 kW)
