P1 Tourer Info

Post by JimmyTheFish » Tue Feb 07, 2023 9:11 am

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

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.
Sorry I can't be of more use

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.
