Lot details Registration No: PSY 716 Chassis No: 7250109 Mot Expiry: T.B.A.
One of just 200 Rover 12hp Tourers made during 1947-1948, this particular example is finished in Pearl Grey with Navy Blue leather upholstery. Treated to an extensive `chassis up' restoration between 1982 and 1985 by M.J. McIntyre Esq. of East Sussex that saw attention paid to its 1.5-litre four-cylinder OHV engine (timing chain, head gasket, AC fuel pump, water pump, crankshaft pulley, valves, camshaft bushes, pushrods etc) four-speed manual gearbox/freewheel mechanism (layshaft/primary gears, locking dog, remote control linkage etc) clutch (pressure plate, operating fork, release bearings) front/rear axles (crownwheel and pinion, bearings, oil seals), instruments, brakes (compensators, ratchet/pawl, release springs), steering (track rod ends, bushes), suspension (front/rear shock absorbers, shackle pins, rear springs), bodywork (handles, lock tabs, hinge bearings), interior and electrical system (starter, dynamo, distributor, indicators), `PSY 716' is understood to have covered just 11,000 miles since the work was completed. Boasting a snug-fitting hood / sidescreens and recently entrusted to Pro Paint of Stockport for some cosmetic smartening, the Rover 12hp is described the vendor as being "a very gorgeous little Tourer" that "drives very well". Riding on correct-type steel wheels, this stylish open four-seater is offered for sale with assorted paperwork, instruction manual, original tool tray and current MOT certificate.
PLEASE NOTE: This lot does not possess a current MOT certificate. The vendor presented it for testing last week and tells us that it only failed due to a brake light fault.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
