Re: Engine removal via the manual
Many thanks luli The pictures are excellent. I seem to have the outer panels but not the fluted centre. Perhaps a previous owner had access to an angle grinder ! I should be able to make the centre section Did you make the metal floor sections ? Were they wood originally ? Again thank you Charlie Ma...

Re: Engine removal via the manual
I notice luli mentions 'removing the lower firewall panel'. What is this panel made from and what does it look like ? Is there supposed to be one in a 1936 Rover 12 ?
Thanks

Rover/BMW/TD4 Injectors
I note the discussion on which Rover 75 is best. I had a new Rover 75 Tourer in 2002, a 2.0 litre petrol automatic. We loved the car but it was pretty gutless. In 2005 we got a new 75 Tourer Connoisseur SE auto with the BMW diesel engine. It was streets ahead of the previous car. We tow a caravan on...

Re: Rover P1 [P2?]
Thank you for responding with very interesting information. As you say, 612955 may be 'lurking' out there and I will be interested to know if anyone ever comes upon it. On the P1/P2 issue, I realise that these were never used by the Rover Company and are more recent 'interpretations' working back fr...

Re: Rover P1 [P2?]
Thank you for the information. The first registered keeper was Harrison Matthews Ltd, Hambleden Mill, Mill End, Henley on Thames. I believe I have a list of all keepers and I am number 6. When the car moved to keeper 3 in 1989, the Registration Document shows 'not licenced' as does the V5 on the mov...

Re: Rover P1 [P2?]
Many thanks for your responses. I will wait to hear if anyone knows of 612955.
I have had my 12 for just over 2 years ,joining RSR at the same time. It is RD 8581, first registered on 21 August 1936 in Reading [as Chris Dancey will know]

Rover P1 [P2?]
My 1936 Rover 12 has chassis number 612954. The RSR Workshop Manual for 1934-47 'P2' models shows that the last chassis number for the 1936 model is 612955. The 37 'model' has a new body style . Does the Rover 12 with chassis number 612955 still survive or is my car the last of the old style [P1] ? ...
