Rover 8

The reconstruction of a Rover 8, by Ray Beech. The car had been found and dismantled some 55 years ago by a previous owner. Ray bought the kit of parts in 2014 and the re-build work has taken place over two years between early 2015 and mid 2017.

Hi Ray, I appreciate that this is a bit late in the day as you produced this video 6 years' ago; but can you please tell me what the knob protruding through the top left of the front grille is for. Thank you.

Hi, The knob operates the choke and it makes sense as it is where you stand when starting.
