ROVER 10/25hp 'Ten'

The series 10/25 hp replaces the Rover 9/20 hp. The demands on engine performance and equipment have increased and cars are becoming larger overall. Rover also follows this trend in the "small" class.

Rover also offers a wide range of bodies in this series. If you look at all Rover series from the late twenties, you can see that there are far too many models on offer. More is produced than can be sold. Dealers also try to sell their stock through instalment models. And Rover is increasingly getting into financial difficulties.

First, some of the 9/20hp deLuxe models will be equipped with the new engine and offered as 10/25 hp.

New is the 10/25 hp Weymann saloon with two side windows and very wide C-pillar. In some tests the poor visibility to the rear is therefore noted laterally negative.

In quick succession, new body variants appear, above all the "Sportsman's Coupé", which is also offered in other model series. New Tourer - models come, in addition a Weymann - saloon with six side windows and an appropriate all steel - model.

1932, the series is divided into the simpler "Family Ten" and the better equipped "Ten Special". The latter already has the chassis of the later "Pilot" vehicles.

From 1931 ROVER also offers a van - model on the chassis of the 10/25 hp. Since it disappears already after two years from the catalog, the economic success was probably rather small.
