Hello, new member here, looking for detail on my late fathers P1 Rover 12 Tourer. BPH520 i believe was a Surrey registered car. Possibly 1934. No records on DVLA so assume lost, scrapped or maybe became a donor car. But if anyone can provide more details of the model or any other register history if it exists even in archive or has ever been seen (long shot i know) i would welcome any info. He drove it from the South coast to Scotland regularly and never let him down, in the late 40s early 50s
Thanks in advance
James

Re: P1 Tourer Info
According to Howard Jones's Rover Tourer book your car does seem to be lost, it was chassis number 412181, first registered in 1934, it was sold in1953 to a lt. commander P A Holden. The colour is not known if you remember the colour can you let us know so the info can get back to Howard Jones to update his records.

Re: P1 Tourer Info
Many thanks Will, yes that was my father Philip Holden that bought it in 1953, Not sure when he sold it, but can possibly find out. He had a P3 after this one.
As far as I remember he said it was black,
Thanks so much for the details.
