1927 Rover 9/25 - Australian Motorlife Museum

Australian Motorlife Museum
Wollongong NSW

THE FOLLOWING IS AS PER INFO SHEET AT MUSEUM.
1927 Rover 9/25
This model was known as a “Semi Sports Tourer”, has a very light aluminium body and had limited production.
Restored in Wollongong NSW in the very late 1960’s and early 1970’s, it was in regular use for distance rallies and local events.
The main part of the car was located at Denman, near Muswellbrook in the Upper Hunter Valley. We cannot be certain, but the belief is that it could be the only survivor of this exact model worldwide.
The motor is about 1100cc, it has a three speed centre change gearbox and four-wheel brakes. It has a worm-drive differential, the car’s “Achilles Heel” as owners frequently used the incorrect oil for this component.
“Cleo” has now returned to Wollongong in the hands of new owners who are directly related to the two enthusiasts who restored the car all those years ago.
