Rover Sports Register Forum

This is a somewhat belated greeting as I have been a member for a few years and an owner for a few more! My garage has amongst its contents a Speed 14 Streamline Coupe in a state of some dereliction. It was previously owned by a Peter Giles who was a member many years ago. Peter I believe is no longer with us but the car, although in bits is more or less complete. One of these days I will get around to doing some work on it!
I should say it shares the garage with a Riley 12/4 Kestrel, a similar looking car, which also has not seen the road for a while as it needed some woodwork and a repaint. I also have an Ulster Austin 7 (with a saloon 7 on the stocks) and a 500 Cooper - so you see I am not too idle!

Welcome Tony,

I hope you find some inspiration to get your cars going. Please post some pictures if you can

I have a friend who races probably the oldest 500 Cooper left, he brought it to the Lakes Rally a few years ago. I'll see if I have a photo somewhere.

Welcome Tony, some pictures would be appreciated

Thanks for the comments.
Stewart, I know Richard's Cooper very well. As you can see (hopefully) mine is similar, but about 10 numbers later. We know of about 3 other Mark 2s. Not posted pictures before, so I hope this works!
I think Rover pictures are in store, as we are trying to sell our house, but I will see what I can find. If not, Mike Evans' photos in the current Freewheel will give you a good idea - I thought I was looking at mine at first!

Hi Tony,

That would be like this car then?







Regards

Stewart
