Rover Sports Register Forum

Well here I am - finally got round to joining the forum. Freewheel 400 arrived this morning - brilliant as usual and what a great idea to include a copy of issue No.1. Surely, Les Bentley's introduction to the RSR is just as appropriate now as it was 67 years ago. Interesting to see how publishing t...

It got out sunny so I've been to the garage. Found a pair of stub-axle assemblies complete with hubs so my arms have grown a bit - should have taken paper, pencil and wirebrush with me! Anyway, interesting results - the left is marked 212518, has the external oil feed pipe from the king-pin and blan...

Interesting - I've got a 1946 12s (I think) drop arm (40461) which is marked 2R/2M with III under the M, so similar to yours and perhaps refering to an earlier stage of manufacture as you say.

As well as the T series cars MG also produced the VA/SA/WA saloon cars in the late 19...

Hello. Len I've also looked at the 12 you mention - window shopping on ebay is one of my favourite passtimes! First thing to mention is that 1947 cars have many detail differences to 1946 and earlier models. A couple of striking things with this one:- it has a pre-war instrument panel (curved glass ...
