Rover on Antiques Roadshow

Post by Sweedlepipe » Thu Dec 31, 2009 11:39 am

Dendy Easton, one of the fine art experts on BBC TV's Antiques Roadshow, has been an RSR member for many years, and owns a 1936 Rover 14hp (what I call a P1, i.e. a D-back) that has been in his family from new.
Dendy sent us a cryptic message (he has to be careful of BBC sensitivities) to suggest to RSR members that they keep an eye open for one of the Antique Roadshow programmes in January 2010 - can't be specific, schedules can change - which was recorded at Brooklands. Regular watchers of the programme can probably guess what is likely to be shown ! There should be a follow-up to the TV programme in Freewheel magazine later on. DVD recorders at the ready...
From new Forum member, but ancient RSR member, Sweedlepipe. Sometimes known as Editor of Freewheel.

Well it looks like the big chief has emerged from the age of steam and joined the 21st century.

Welcome Ian, I hope you will be posting on a regular basis here

I think tonight is the Last Antique Roadshow so I guess this is the one not to miss?!

Hello All,

Unfortunatly those of us outside the UK are not allowed to view BBC programs so if anyone has recorded the roadshow program wih the Rover segment let me know I would love to see it. If by accident it gets posted to YouTube they could send me a PM.

Thanks
Dirk in the States
