There was a slight steering shimmy when braking and this was annoying but not serious.

We put up with this annoyance until someone recom- mended Jay's British and European Motors saying “Jay is expensive but he does the job right”. I removed the front calipers and took them to Jay. As I suspected, the calipers were partly seized. Jay overhauled them – problem solved. 1980: At about 75,000 miles the Rover began to run a bit rough.

Several years prior to this I had a bad experience in the UK. My father owned a 1967 Austin A60 so while I was there I offered to do a few minor jobs. At the parts depart- ment of the main British Leyland dealership in Newcastle I was told “We do not stock parts for old cars”.

I phoned Ken and as soon as I mentioned Will we get back to Vancouver? “Rover” he said the person I needed to talk to was Ruth Burgess at All British Cars. On December 3 rd 1999, I met When we purchased the Rover we kept the Austin A60 Ruth for the first time. I gave Ruth a list of engine and which was the daily driver and the Rover was used main- brake parts that would be needed and after looking over ly for longer trips many of which were to the Rockies.

  • Rover – Perceptions and Facts Part
    ROVER – PERCEPTIONS AND FACTS PART ONE By Graeme Tutt Over the years, many comments have been made regarding the performance of the various Rover models. Two that spring to mind are: "A P6 2000 auto has a better performance than any six cylinder Rover" “A P6 TC is fast as a P6B 3500 auto” Those types of comments made me realise that, my opinions, although long held, were based on nothing more than perceptions and that I had never seen any firm objective comparative data which compared the relative performance of the various Rovers models and that as a result, there was no firm basis for my views. In order to address this, I have sourced and collated performance figures for the P4, P5, P5B, P6 and P6B, however, in so doing, I increasingly began to wonder, not only just how the Rover of each era compared with each other but also, how they compared with their contemporaries, rivals and the “common garden” vehicles of each successive era.. This article thus consists of two separate parts. The first part compares the Rover models against each other and then goes on to compare the P4 against its contemporaries during what I have called the "P4 Era" - mid 1950's to early 1960’s. The second part of the article compares the P5/P5B and P6/P6B against their respective contemporary rivals. In sourcing data, I have utilised period road tests from the respected journals of the day in UK, USA and Australia, James Taylor books and the net - I have avoided current day "gee-whiz" classic car magazines for obvious reasons.

Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics.

Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.

This months meeting had the normal number of attendees, see meeting minutes, with discussions centred on the Centennial Rally and the proposal to submit a "remit" to the upcoming ARCC AGM in Queenstown "that the ARCC annual rally be held on a bi-annual basis between the North & South Islands". This "remit" is to be submitted. Last weekend was the McLeans Island Swap meet which was held on a busy sports weekend this year it seems. We are hoping for a good turnout of Rovers at the Tokomaru A& P Show, Milton on December 13th. Good weather guaranteed at that time (we hope), with an evening BBQ. There is also the West Otago A& P Show at Tapanui on the 22nd November.

However, we still live in one of the best parts of the country and there’s still plenty of great weather to look forward to before the on- slaught of our winter. The weather has been pretty good so far there’s been the odd rain day and a frost or two but nothing to grizzle about and as we drive around town, travelling to and from work or cruising around the country side, the autumn colours are becoming more spectacular each day and we can appreciate just how good this part of New Zealand is. As you will see elsewhere there are a number of get togethers and events coming up; we have the Memorial Run in May, our AGM in July and plans are becoming to take shape for our display at the Auto-spectacular; a celebration of the Rover P4, 70 years of a model run that has stood the test of time and are a legacy of sound engineering and design.
