Re: Age of owners

The reasons for the failure of the British owned motor industry are many and complex. Foreign owners seem to be managing it quite well. Jeremy Clarkson explained the decline of the British car industry in a short documentary some while ago. Don't know how accurate his conclusions are, but the film ...

Re: New Member

Hi Laurie, our daughter (she was 6 then) christened my 1954 90 'Ben' immediately when she first saw him (sic).

Your Rover looks like it has lots, if not almost all, original fittings. If that is so, that's a very rare ...

Re: Over heating P2

Luli, very interesting technique, to dissolve limestone with vinegar in the engine block's water jacket.

Rover Pre-Wilks roadster?

I found this photograph on http://www.oily-rag.net. To the left of the Alfa Romeo, the green ragtop roadster, appears to be a pre-Wilks Rover. Do you happen to know it? What model/year is it?

1934 Rover 14 sports saloon restoration project

I saw this project Rover 14 sports on an eBay auction about a year ago.
