I have a club magazine from Queensland Rover that featured “The Lucky Lady” my car. There were 2 previous owners mentioned in the article. This year we travelled north and I had the good luck to catch up with the owners. It was their belief that the car was imported to Australia by Doctor Hewitt. He...

Thank you for your reply. I have photos of a couple of 37 16 SS and both are different. I think that one was reupholstered so I won’t put a lot of hopes on it. The other is original and is what I’m trying to copy. My car was missing a lot when I bought it including the parcel shelf and supporting ti...

He is going to look around for a few photo's of a 1937 model for me. I will be sending him some photo's of my car a...

Can anyone put me in contact with an owner of a 1937 Rover 16 Sports Saloon? I'm hoping to get in touch with someone who can help me with photo's and info to aid the restoration of my car.

Thanks for the help and advice.

I have recently purchased a 1937 Rover 16 Sports Saloon. It was origionally imported to Australia by a Dr Hewitt and was given the nick name "The Lucky Lady". I'm afraid the lady's luck ran out some time ago when a very poor restoration and cover up job was done on it. Anyway I now have it and I int...
