By the 1920s Rover motorcycles had become well known for their quiet, smooth running engines and comfortable riding positions. This combined with, a standardised all chain drive system, internally expanding rear drum brake and powerful engines, made the Rover one of the most desirable motorcycles on the market.
This Rover Imperial 550cc is a rare to the market motorcycle and from 1962 its previous owner kept the bike in their living room before moving it to a heated garage. Since purchasing the bike in 2017, its current very keen and knowledgeable vintage motorcycle owner, has used and enjoyed riding the bike on a regularly basis. Since being purchased it has had new tyres, wheel and steering bearings, new toolboxes, and a new crank and con rod fitted by Alpha Bearings Ltd. Described by the owner as being in good overall condition. The bike starts easily and runs and rides nicely.
Comes with – a current V5C.
Estimate: £8, 500 – 10, 000
