Rover Sports Register Forum

Hi guys,

I've just purchased my 1938 Model, Rover P2 '12' Saloon - Reg No: JT 9678 / Engine & Body No's: 811794 - I wondered if any of you fine people knew whether she had ever appeared in the registers records before???

I have her full history from: 10th Nov '59 to date, (ie: Major James Dermot Harris, of Stalbridge, Dorset) but know very little about her prior to then - other than, that she was registered in Dorchester, on the 29th July 1938...

If anyone knows anything else about her, I'd love to hear from you!

Kind Regards,

Guy.

Hello there again Guy

Your new acquisition has not been in the RSR with a previous owner, however I did spot that it was for sale at Richard Edmonds Auction in Worcester a couple of weeks ago, were you the successful bidder??? I have now entered it on the database under your ownership but would appreciate your surname to complete the details.

Regards

Hello Andrew,

Before reading your reply to this thread, I sent you a PM asking for any known history - Sorry!

However, in the PM I also added as much of the cars known history as I have - Eg: Supplying Rover Dealership when new, (E Childs & Son's - Sherborne) registration & delivery dates, service dates etc - right up to late 2014...however, the one really important piece of information I don't have is the original owners name!!!

Re: The Auction - No, I didn't buy her at auction mate...I bought her via a classified-ad on the Car&Classic.co.uk website from the step-son of the 1959-2014 owner - Major J D. Harris.

If you'd like any further info, drop me a PM or email to: guys1943dodge@hotmail.com and I'll give you everything else I have...

Kind Regards,

Guy Muller. (Mem No: 11908)
