Hello All,
I took my Rover bike to it's first and my first bicycle show and my son Deven entered it in the event. And he won an award for most original bike. Look at how excited he is...

Re: Club car badge
Hello,
I personally think the club website is quite good! Especially that it is kept up by volunteer efforts.

Re: brake problem
Hello Nicolas, Question, is your P3 a LHD or a RHD? The reason is the LHD cars have a different master cylinder arrangement and works the opposite of a RHD drive car in that you pull the piston out of the master as opposed to pushing it in as with the RHD. If you have a LHD drive car then it is poss...

Re: A new 1947 6 light 14 found in the USA
Hi Mike, Stewart and friends, Yes, it is RHD car. There were between 7 and 9 LHD drive cars built in 47, 12 and 16s I believe. I do not think there were any 14s though. My understanding is that Rover was asked to experiment with LHD platforms by the government. I have a friend in New York who has a ...

A new 1947 6 light 14 found in the USA
Hello All, I have come upon another early Rover a rather rusty 47 6 light 14. The car has been sitting for many years in Tennessee (USA) and was a home to a range of critters. It appears that someone did a poor restoration at one point in it's life as there is bondo where the wing trim should be. Ho...

Re:Even more images 47 Tourer found in the USA
Hello All, Well I posted photos that I had gotten from the previous owner of the car and now here are the photos from sorting out what I actually ended up with. It truly is a shame that the car was dissembled to such an extent. The previous owner clearly had never restored a car before and just rush...

I do cruise on the hi-ways here in the States and do find that I have to down shift on steep inclines and yes,...
