Re: Dashboard
I have made two, both exactly as they were made originally. The dashboards were ply with a thin veneered surface stuck on, they were not solid wood as many have made since. Some of the originals will be woodwormy, the ply was glued with ' horse blood ' which is like a sunday roast to woodworm.

Re: No Headlining

Re: SCAM using a Rover 10 1940
Thanks Andrew and Paul, Unfortunately this new prospective owner did not wait for my ok. I spotted almost straight away that the car looked too good for £2500. A tip I use is to ask for a photograph of an obscure item, like a corkscrew to be placed on the bonnet, that at least proves there is a car ...

SCAM using a Rover 10 1940
An advert using a Rover 10 p2 1940 on the Pre-War cars internet selling site is a scam, I have had an enthusiast contact me who has been cheated out of his deposit. The car is distinctive in being white, with black wings bonnet and roof, Registration number is KMC 391. Is this car current ? If so do...

Re: P2 Differential noise

Re: 1935 ROVER 14 SPORTS SALOON SHOCKS
