1935 Rover 14 – a magnificent blast from the past.

This Rover 14 is a great example of a historic vehicle that has been well looked after. This example was subject to an older restoration carried out in the 80s, and even after 4 decades, the car still looks good. The car shows as only 3 former keepers on the current V5C, the most current owner having had the vehicle for over 20 years. The vehicle is in good condition, having developed a lovely patina on the leather upholstery and all the chrome work looks to be good. The vehicle starts on the button and drives well and even has a working slide back sunroof. Even the luggage rack with the period box looks to be good as well.

The vehicle comes with little history but that doesn’t mean to say it isn’t good history. The history folder features the current V5, an old green buff logbook, a couple of restoration photos, a Rover workshop manual, a couple of invoices and a list of previous owners. One of the previous owners, in fact the second owners of the car, were Leyland Historic Vehicles Ltd, which is seen in the old green buff logbook. One of the invoices included in the history is a service invoice, which was carried out in 2018 at 93,055 miles and the odometer now reads just under 94,000 miles. The car also comes with the original radiator cap and a car cover for this model of car.

As with all vehicles, we encourage potential buyers to view the vehicle in person and make their own judgement. The team here at Barons, Marchwood, Southampton, will be happy to help and answer questions you may have.
