Hi all,

This has to be quite an unusual car now, a two-door version of the 1939 Rover 10 series, in what looks to be very original condition.

A quality British pre-war car - if the tax disc in the screen is anything to go by, it was last on the road in 1967.

Would a 10HP (RAC) engine struggle a bit with a coachbuilt car like this?

I quite like that, I really like the rounded shape to the front seats. Is the price a little strong?

I like that a lot, the two-door styling reminds me of the Riley Lincock and is sufficiently different to be 'quirky'. I agree it looks pretty sturdy for only a 1300cc engine and 10hp. Another candidate for an oily rag restoration.
