Albert Bowring was my Grandfather! Here he is with the car.
Thanks for letting me know it was a 10hp I really appreciate it.

Yes Chris it is a P2 saloon. According to freecarcheck my car doesn't exist either!

Hi All These photos show my Grandfathers Rover P2 FLW 485. The shot with the two people getting in (they are my uncle and his wife on their wedding day) was taken in 1955. The other shot (taken on the IOW ferry, note the overloaded boot!) dates from 1958. I have looked up the reg number and the car ...

The engine in my '39 14 is green. Is there any paint colour/code specific to Rover? At the moment I'd say it looks similar to the BMC/MOWOG green. Thanks.

Made a decision! I've asked my engineer to narrow the four holes around the front two cylinders by 50% and open the four rear one by 1mm. With the new rad and thermostat and cleaned up water pump that should do the trick. Fingers crossed!

I've read the article that appeared in Freewheel (thanks for sending it Chris) but it wasn't a lot of help. I really need specifics as to which holes to narrow and by how much.

Spotted a handsome P4 on Marcham Road, Abingdon this afternoon. Grey over blue. Had a couple x's in the reg number. Looked a very tidy car. Was it you?

Yes please Chris! I sent you an email.

Thanks Jeff. Anyone got a copy of that issue of Free Wheel that I could borrow?
