I recently came on a website that had on it a picture (attached) identified as a 1924 Rover 16/50. Well, it isn't, because I have a 16/50. Can anyone identify it? It is clearly a Rover, from the radiator and various other clues, but it is smaller than a 16/50 and lacks four-wheel brakes. It is different from the 1925 Rover 12, of which I have a picture, which didn't have the slope to the bonnet near the windscreen (and I think did have four-wheel brakes). Is this the so-called Rover Clegg of the early 1920s?

Bugeye (your car, not you, I hope), yes, that's it, even to the bulb horn mounted up high to the right of the windscreen. I don't know about 1920 but they well may have made it for a few years. Now why couldn't I find that site? Anyway, thanks.

My pleasure to help, Ken. I love to go researching obscurities, and have no idea why, other than the satisfaction I get from it.
Yes, the Bugeye refers to one of the race cars, not any medical condition! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
