1953 Series 1

[Disco96JSWB]

I now own a 1953 Series 1 Rover. It seems pretty solid, although the steering needs to be sorted out.

A long time ago I rebuilt a 1952 80", so this is my second time around with an 80" Rover. I'm in need of a muffler, if anyone has one. I suspect I'll also need a steering relay, although I recall that it's the same as an SIIA.

This was a fire tender originally, I found a picture of it (NLR 936) on page 113 of LROI from Sept 1998 (I knew I was keeping that issue for a reason . . .), although all the fire equipment is gone now. So it was always red. Should be a fun project . . .
