Another one may have turned up. Do we know who has the register of the half dozen or so known survivors? It's not me, but could be someone in the Sunbeam club?

Re: Mystery vintage / veteran Rover badge
Just found the other post. It was David Botting who asked me to post it for him. I'm still no nearer thinking where this badge may have originally been fitted, but it could be only on certain exported models. We know that the 10/25 had an additional badge "English Rover" mounted on the radiator. I h...

Re: 10 hp Front wings Wanted
I later found a pair of 10hp front wings on ebay, advised the chap who wanted them but was told the car had been sold. Don't know the final outcome.

Re: 2 x 1930's Rovers (10HP and 12HP)
I assume these two have been rescued? I'm not able to to take on any more myself, but surely at the price they had to sell, even if the saloon was broken for parts. The 10 coupe is surely worth doing. Does anyone have an update?

It has me stumped but hopefully someone has seen a similar one on a car. Please help. Mike Evans Now the difficult bit, uploading a...

Re: Reconditioned engine part numbers.
Have answered my own question at last. The part numbers for reconditioned engines are given in Service Newsletter 78A of April 1957.

Re: wheel bearings
Was this work done by a professional company? , if so we need to know. However, I understand you not wanting to name them in the post for fear of legal repercussions.
No problem in getting the tab washers, they're available from several sources, including myself.
