Lot 026: 1938 ROVER SPEED 20 SPORTS SALOON

Finished in maroon with matching leather upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in good condition with regard to its chassis, engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, bodywork and wheels / tyres. First registered on 14th December 1938 (or so the accompanying 1956-issued RF60 logbook would imply), this 1939 model year Speed 20 is said to benefit from "first class paint and chrome". Thought to retain its original interior trim with the exception of a "new headlining and carpets", it rides on silver-painted wire wheels. Undeniably rare, it is offered for sale with a workshop manual, parts book, V5 registration document, MOT certificate current until August 2006 and historic class (free) road tax until August 2006.
