Back in the early eighties a friend of mine built an English 32 sedan with a Rover engine. I never saw the finished car as it was sold in a hurry and he 'left the country' a bit sharpish! He had been living at the time out in the sticks near Hindhead in Surrey. Does anybody know of the car or what happened to it? Just curious really....

Was the builder a restorer . There was a nice resto-rod sedan featured in Rod and Custom back then . It was maroon , but I've never seen it in real life .

Harold....Thats it! I never saw the car as he had moved down your way and I still lived in Twickenham but I thought he had told me it was an English sedan? Must be my saga memory! Don't suppose that anybody knows anymore....If it was a coupe then which one is it now? Maybe Pete's then Bob?

Well I know EXACTLY what she looked like but am not commenting any further! ;o)
Does anybody have a picture or spec of the car? It's just one of those unanswered questions that I'd like to resolve. I swear he told me it was an English car though....
