Rover's Model 14 was launched in 1934 on a lengthened underslung chassis retaining its predecessor's 1,577cc, six-cylinder, overhead-valve engine.
The new frame enabled the adoption of lowline bodies, and attractive 'streamline' versions of both saloon and coupé.
Specification included a 4-speed gearbox with freewheel, Lockheed brakes, Luvax-Bijur automatic lubrication and electric windscreen wipers.
Offered in sports saloon, coupé and open tourer versions, the '80mph from the factory' Speed 14 was powered by a tuned engine incorporating 'specially streamlined ports and manifolds' and a high-compression cylinder head.
This particular Rover 14 was built in Coventry and registered in 1935 as AVC 88, the number it still retains today.
It was originally finished as a four-door saloon with the desirable 1,577cc straight-six mated to a 4-speed manual transmission and was sold by Huxley Sales & Service of Albany Road, Earlsdon with a dashboard plaque confirming this.
