The Two-Point-Six replaced the Riley Pathfinder as Riley's top-line automobile. While its predecessor was still a Riley design, the Two-Point-Six was simply a Wolseley 6/90 with a Riley badge and grille and garish two-tone colour schemes. It used the "BMC C-Series" straight-6, an engine that produced 97 hp (72.3 kW). This was actually less than the 2.5 L Riley "Big Four" straight-4 engine it replaced. The Two-Point-Six was a commercial failure and was pulled from the market in May, 1959, the last large Riley.

Engine:
* 2.6 L (2639 cc) "C-Series" straight-6, 97 hp (72.3 kW)
