Rover 10 'Special'
Specifications
The story behind this collectible...
This Rover 10 'special' came to the Netherlands as a saloon in 1974. Six years ago Herman ten Velde from Holten converted it to Special. Then the car was moved to Franeker and finished there. The current owner bought the special as a project. That was at the end of 2016. He restored the car "nut and bolt" and overhauled it where necessary.
The main job was the engine: All bearings (7 times) were re-cast (white metal), crankshaft was ground and balanced, valves valve guides etc., Then the engine completely rebuilt. New clutch, transmission and diff are perfect. New tires, wheels have been re-spoked.
Drove and finished the Tulip Rally last May: Tenth place! The Rover can compete again in no time! Really a nice project and guaranteed lots of driving fun.
