Description 1928:
The two-litre six-cylinder ROVER "Paris" & "Riviera" sedans
Real Weymann bodies
- Available with blue, brown or dark red body finish and matching upholstery.
The imposing lines of the two-litre six-cylinder make the "Paris" and "Riviera" Weymann Saloons models the most beautiful cars on the road.
The bodies are built under licence from the Weymann company, which ensures that you don't have to be afraid of scratches - as with highly polished bodies. The upholstery is in high-quality moquette quality, which is both comfortable and visually attractive and easy to maintain.
A leather upholstery is available on request for an extra charge of £10.
"Paris" or "Riviera" (folding roof) saloons, complete £425 - with wire wheels £435
Note: The "Riviera" model is similar in appearance to the "Paris" model, which is shown in the closed state, except that no roof fan is installed. At the top left the model "Riviera" is shown with the roof folded back - easy to operate in a few moments. |
Description 1929:
The Weymann system of body construction consists of building a "flexible" frame and coating it with a durable, weatherproof fabric. Its advantages lie in the fact that it makes it possible to produce a saloon body lighter than a metal-clad body at a lower price and without the risk of body noise. The reason for the latter advantage is that no two frame elements touch each other in the body frame; all connections are made by sturdy steel plates firmly bolted to each element. These plates reinforce an air space between them so that the frame elements can "bend" but not rub; therefore it is impossible for creaking noises to develop. However, this principle only applies to genuine Weymann bodies, such as those installed in Rover vehicles. The coating of the body consists of a special fabric that is tightly stretched over the frame and can withstand even the toughest loads. It is very easy to clean, since it does not require polishing as with a normal body and cannot be scratched if it is "chemically cleaned". Rover saloons with Weymann bodies (manufactured under license by the Rover Company) are available with four or six windows and with fixed or foldable roofs. There is virtually no difference in appearance and cost between the latter two, with the fixed roof model known as "Paris" and the folding roof model known as "Riviera". The opening or closing of the "Riviera" roof takes only a few seconds, and in the open state there is no rattling at all. For those who enjoy the sun and the air, the "Riviera" is the ideal solution for their needs.
Weymann "Standard" Saloon Model
The upholstery is made of high-quality carriage fabric, comfortable and very durable. Artillery wheels are mounted on "standard" models, but wire wheels can be supplied for £10 extra. The available body colours are: Blue, brown, red or the fashionable black, which is accentuated by a chrome trim. Weymann "Regal" Saloon Model
The models have 4 or 6 windows. Both types, with " Regal " fittings as shown, have the same price, or £395 when supplied with " Standard " fittings. The " Regal " models are upholstered with fine upholstery fabrics and have wire wheels and the other features listed in the specifications. A spacious luggage grid is attached to the rear and folds down when needed.
