Hi, Just joined this forum and hope you can give me some of your knowledge regarding the 16/50 you have.
Before I commit to the purchase of one that is for sale in Victoria Australia.
I'm no Stanger to this marque as I was a member of R.S.R. U.K back in the late 60s while owning 2 1936 14s
one family saloon and a very smart sports saloon along with a string of Jaguars. I have been toolmaking
for the past 55 years and very competent in making obsolete parts. I am restoring a 1913 Siddeley Deasy
at present and have just let go of my beautiful Delage D,I,Saloon so there is a vacant space awaiting in
my workshop. The 16/50 in question is stripped down to a rolling chassis but the saloon frame is intact
and in good order, engine, gear box, rear end all seem to be intact judging by some photos I've viewed on
the Aust Rover Club site. I would be interested to know of any points to look out for on this model
especially the rather complex engine ( valve timing in particular ). Hope you can send some phots for me
to view...……….Regards...….Alan
