NELSON ROVER CAR CLUB
The Club had its
beginnings over 20 years ago when a group of enthusiasts met to form
a group for social, self help, and parts supply. From these simple
beginnings we have grown to a membership of 30 plus. Model ownership
amongst our Club members ranges from an immaculate P3, through P4,
P5, P6, to SD1, and several later models. Like other Rover Clubs we
also welcome Land Rover enquiries. We own our Clubrooms sited at thePigeon
Valley Steam Museum, Wakefield and these |

|
| are
quite extensive with kitchen facilities, a meeting room and large
garaging for cars, spare parts and workshops and a small museum.
The theme of the Clubrooms is an early service station and to
this end we have a display of vintage petrol pumps which set
the atmosphere. We send parts throughout NZ from a range covering
P3 through P4, 5, 6, to SD1. Panels, glass, engines, gearboxes
the range is extensive with some being new unused stock. We have
manufactured, in cast bronze, a replica (exact copy) with approval
from Rover, of the Viking Head which adorns the front of the
P4 bonnet. These are available for $35 plus postage and packing
and are suitable for mounting as a replacement, on a badge bar
or similar, or mounting on a plinth as a desk ornament. Our meeting
is the first Sunday in each month, at the Clubrooms and all are
welcome to attend. From time to time we arrange social outings.
An annual show day Classic & Collectables is hosted at our rooms
the first Sunday in May when all the local Clubs arrive for a
display and social get together, usually well over a hundred
cars. At Easter 2002 we'll be the hosts for the annual Rover
Car Clubs National Rally.
