1938 Hand Built Rover Specail registered as Historic Vehicle SOLD

Hand built special. This is not a kit car. Registered as Rover, historic vehicle, 1389cc, 2 axle rigid body. However the grill is Riley and the look of the car matches this. In the true style of a special it features components from several sources. The chassis is 1930's Rover saloon suitably boxed and strengthened, front axle is early Ford with transverse spring and friction shock absorbers. The rear axle is MG Midget with leaf springs (leather cased) and modern shock absorbers. The chromed wire wheels are fitted with 4. 50 x 19 tyres which may need replacing due to age rather than wear. They are splined hubs with knock on spinners. The engine is an 'A' series Marina engine bored out to 1389cc and fitted with fast road cam, titan roller rocker cam shaft and the timing chain has been altered to a tooth belt drive system. The engine is thought to have done less than 300miles. There is an aluminium adapter bell housing to a Ford 4speed gearbox. Front brakes are discs from a 1964 Sunbeam Alpine and rears MG Midget drums. It breathes through a Weber DCOE 40 carb and there is a Jetex silencer feeding into a fishtail rear pipe. This all ensures a lively performance with a wonderful sound track! The brake and clutch systems are both filled with silicone hydraulic fluid. The front body work is aluminium solid rivetted (no pop rivets) with aluminium wings and a fiberglass tail cover. The cockpit and tail are fabric (vinyl?) covered. The seats are fitted on adjustable slides. The steering wheel is removable for easy access. Great Fun!
