1937 Rover fourteen NOW SOLD SOLD

1937 rover fourteen saloon. 1938 engine - its history tells the story. Sorry guys the car is now sold.
original lancashire registration.
photos of car with original owner along with documents from when new.
it was stored off road from 1951 to 1984.
it had a total renovation 89 to 93 with photos of this.

i bought the car with the engine out & stripped ready for renovation. Now after 4 years, age, money and enthusiasm have put paid to my finishing the project. Everything works.
it may not be concours but it certainly is not a wreck, it’s a nice tidy solid car looking for some some more tlc to make it the classic it should be. These quality cars were referred to as ‘the poor mans rolls royce’ back in the day.

large history file. Workshop manuals, parts manuals, hand books, some spares etc. Jack, starting handle, wheel brace etc all come with the car.
history from new apart from years 1998 to 2011 not sure why but i feel this is where the car didn’t get the care and attention it deserved.
the rebuilt engine is still to be run in, rebored, new pistons, reground crank, balanced, white metal bearings, all carried out by ‘gosnays’. i assembled with new timing chain & sprockets, new rocker shafts, rocker bushes, valve guides etc. Etc.
stainless exhaust, new battery, new clutch, new bearings & seals - front hubs, gearbox, o/ s/ r - (someone painted over the diff breather and it blew the seal), new steering joints, petrol tank cleaned , etc. Etc etc, way too much to list but i have kept a log of the works i have carried out.
still requires steering box rebuild and the n/ s/ r spring has a broken leaf. It was my intention to replace all four springs.

i drove it a couple of times, it certainly turned heads along the way, but with the steering box & n/ s/ r spring needing attention i decided to make it sorn and it still is. I was also going to reline the brake shoes to be sure.

viewing more than welcome, within current covid regulations.
wickford, essex

The car was stored for around 25 years 1951 - 1984
