Wiltshire registrations
I cant believe the level of detail in this archive book- it seems to list most of the cars registered in Wiltshire between 1903 and 1914 including about 100 Rovers, giving names and addresses for owners etc. It was published in 2006 but I have only just stumbled across it. Serious hunters amongst ma...

Re: Kevlar brake shoes
Since I last posted I have been engaged in refurbishing the compensators on my rod brake sytem to see how that improves the braking. Well today I have finally got the brakes back together with rebushed compensators with new yokes and in the short test drive around the block the difference is amazing...

Re: A.M. Instruments, Rover 20
What I am wondering is why these spedometers appear to be upside down compared to the one in my 14? Ie the zero on the dial is at the top as well as the 80mph. Is there a logic?

Re: Maurauder
Hi Roger The difference between saloon and coupe version of a model can be quite subtle but in Rover terms it seems a 'saloon' means more emphasis is given to the space for the rear passengers but the 'coupe' indicates a slightly lowered roof especially towards the rear giving rear seat passengers l...

Re: Maurdauder
PS found a decent photo of the saloon- note: it is a 6 light rather than a 4 light

Re: Maurauder
Hi Roger I only realised yesterday that there were Streamline saloons as well as Coupe's made in this style. The saloon has a noticeably steeper slope on the back because they allowed more headroon over the rear seats. You mentioned the car being a saloon so was it steeper than the one I illustrated...

Re: Maurauder
I'm glad thats sorted then. Maybe the club's records can summon up some details if you can remember the reg number or the name of the owner you bought from or who you sold to?

Re: Maurdauder
There are many others in the club who would have a better knowledge but the only model I can think of would be a '35/36 Speed 14 Streamline Coupe not a Maurauder. The streamline has that 'fastback' sloping rear, triple SU's and knock on wheels. Ring any bells? ( 35 Speed 14 Streamline.jpg I was thin...

Re: Maurauder
According to a quick look on the internet there was only one fixed head Marauder ever made and that was a specila order -dubbed an 'A100' coupe - with triple SU's. Perhaps this was the one? Does it look familiar? I dont know where it is now but this photo was taken in 2015. More history would be fas...

Re: Kevlar brake shoes
To be fair I was relatively impressed by the brakes on my 14 when I first got the car, this being the first time I had experienced using rod brakes. In normal circumstance they are fine but I have experienced life threatening brake fade ie the brakes faded away to nothing going down a long narrow hi...
