1935 Rover 14 Speed Streamline Coupé

This exceptional 1935 Rover Speed 14 Streamline Coupé embodies British engineering and stylish pre-war elegance. Only around 380 of the sought-after Speed 14 models were built between 1934 and 1936 – making a surviving example exceptionally rare today.

The elegant aluminium Streamline body on a traditional ash wood frame gives the vehicle timeless lines and underlines the exclusive character of this classic. The coupé is powered by a refined 1,577 cc inline 6-cylinder engine producing 54 BHP at 4,800 rpm. Combined with the 4-speed manual transmission and selectable freewheel, the Rover offers a remarkably comfortable and assured driving experience for its time.

Rover models of this era were considered technically extremely advanced. The Speed 14 was equipped from the factory with sophisticated features such as a central lubrication system for the chassis, an automatic starting system and an electric oil-level indicator – equipment features that were far ahead of their time. The hydraulically operated drum brakes also underscore the high technical standard of this vehicle.

Extensive work and overhauls have been carried out in recent years:

• Complete overhaul of the braking system

• Overhaul of the cylinder head

• Overhaul of the carburettor

• Overhaul of the distributor

• Adjustment of the valve timing

• Various electrical works, including the installation of indicators

• Conversion of the headlights to comply with Swiss regulations (originals available)

• Central locking nuts re-chromed

• Reconstruction of the driver's-side A-pillar

• Tank completely newly manufactured

• Central lubrication system refurbished

Technically, the vehicle is in very good condition. The bodywork has paint damage in various places. There is also collision damage at the rear.

An extremely rare and stylish pre-war classic for collectors and enthusiasts of exclusive British automobiles.
