This picture was created as an advertisement of THE RILEY MOTOR CLUB, to celebrate the 25th Anniversary, in 1994, of the ending of Riley car production, and the 100th Anniversary, in 1996, of the formation of the original RILEY CYCLE Co. Ltd.
As well as the picture shown above, there was also issued a commemorative bookmark, recorded as cash-bm0525. The Riley family were originally ribbon weavers, but they finally ceased that trade in 1896 and formed the cycle business instead.

Both picture and bookmark, together with various printed leaflets were issued by the Club, and below is an original letter sent to one of the purchasers of these items (name and contact details have been deliberately obscurred), verifying they were issued by CASH'S.
