The Rover 14
was introduced in the year 1936. The 14 became available as a six
cylinder model next to the Rover Twelve. At the same time the bigger
motorized Rover 16 was presented. These Rover models were
technically very much ahead of the competition in their time. It was so
modern that the car was built until 1948. The cars featured a low
chassis, engine with overhead valves and built-in jacks.
In the pre-war years Rover was known for the conservative styling of the
cars and the superior quality they offered. The cars were always just a
little better than the competitors in the middle-class car market. The
Rover 14 and 16 were no exception, the cars were well constructed and
were very reliable. The interior was rich, lots of wood, leather and
quality carpet were used to please the rather wealthy middle-class
customer.
The Rover 14 sported a 1577 cc or 1901 cc (58 bhp) six cylinder engine,
the Rover 16 featured a cylinder-capacity of 2147cc. giving a power
output of 72 bhp. The cars could be ordered in two versions; the Saloon
and the Sports Saloon. Both versions were basically the same but the
"Sports" was fitted with some extra accessories like a twin-tone
air-horn.
