Reavell Special now at Gaydon

Post by David2021 » Thu Dec 22, 2022 12:46 pm

I was at the Motor Museum at Gaydon the other day and they have just had in an interesting new exhibit. This is a Rover12 special "The Reavell Special" It is based on a 1935 12 shortened chassis, with a "tuned" 12hp engine and a two seater Abbott body...apparently it as done over 150000 miles & featured in the Autocar in 1952! There are various links/pictures to be found on Google etc...perhaps someone can transfer them to here (beyond my pay grade/ability!)

The car is very well known, and well worth a visit to Gaydon.
