So the ’34 Speed 14 Pilot dhc by Tickford in Richard Edmonds’ March 2nd. sale, to which Adrian Mitchell alerted us, didn’t sell. Very disappointing, as this is a rare and powerful beast. Estimated at 22-25K, the reserve was possibly in the region of 18-20K. What makes this non-sale all the more surprising is the astronomical prices being asked for lesser vehicles: 17K for a ’36 10 (!!!) and 33K for a ’47 12 Tourer among several examples which have recently been brought to my attention.
There may, of course, have been a very significant condition reason for the Pilot flopping at auction. Can anyone out there who actually went to view it enlighten us?

  Do you need doors for a saloon or sports saloon? There are a number of second hand doors in the club stores which are available for sale.
  
  The logbook should say which model of car you have – which is it? It should be 10hp, 12hp, 14hp or 16hp. Alternatively let us know the chassis number.
  Regards
  Mike

I am considering the purchase of a 1939 Tickford bodies convertible coupe in the US – but there are some uncertainties about the original configuration of this example.
I have the original Regestration Number and Chassis # and Engine #. Can you help me to trace the original as built configuration?

  Hello Bob,
  Of course we will do what we can to help, the chief difficulty being that factory records were destroyed by enemy action during WW2.
  
  The RSR has extensive records and may be able to help by reference to these.
  
  If you have any pictures of the vehicle that you can e-mail, that will help also.
  Best regards
  
  Mike Maher, RSR Chairman

    I have a copy of the build record of all the Tickford Rovers, so if you tell me the chassis number (ie the car number on the plate on the bulkhead) I can give you all the information.

To Bill Heywood,

Hi,
I’m afraid that age & disability have caught up with me and nearly all club events are too far away for me (and my ’39 Rover!). I must, therefore, resign my membership and wish you all a Happy Christmas

Hi thanks for your interest. According to the previous owner it is a P series 1936 Rover and it does indeed have a running board. I have a picture of the actual one, can I e mail it to you as I am sure you will recognise it instantly ?
