This car was one of the exhibits on the stand of the Rover Sports Register at the Northern Classic Car Show at the G-Mex Exhibition Centre in Manchester in August 1994.
It's a 1933 Rover 10 Special with a 4-cylinder inline 1,185cc ohv engine, and a note in the brochure of the event by the owner of the car reads as follows:
'ALK 292 is a Rover 10 Special which was registered August 21st 1933. The body was built by Carbodies, Coventry and in their sales brochure was described as a Sports Two Seater with a single Dicky Seat. The rear of the body is boat shaped.
It was purchased by my father in July 1963 in Elstead, Surrey. My father was only the second owner of the car which was used regularly until 1968 when it was taken off the road and subsequently stored for 21 years. The car was professionally restored from 1990-92.
According to the Vintage Rover Register, no other survivor of this special bodied Rover is known, and the car is more probably unique.'
The DVLA record shows that the car has not been taxed since January 2000.
