Technology

The extremely robust and yet simple design of the chassis with strong cross-bracing of the frame, which prevents body twisting, should be noted. The generous luggage carrier can be folded up when not in use. The dashboard with its instruments is no longer integrated on the body, but on the chassis.

The chassis is also sold separately. In this case it includes: Lighting and starting equipment (5 lamps); bonnet; front wings and footboards; luggage carrier; number plates; shock absorbers; spring cuffs; spare wheel and tyre with brackets; fuel tank and tool kit complete.
On the dashboard there are: control panel; dashboard lighting; speedometer; clock; electric and ball horns; throttle and mixture control; oil pressure gauge; fuel gauge and start switch.
The chassis was offered in 1928 for the price of £325.

At the chassis of the Rover "Six" are remarkable:
1. the simplicity of the whole layout.
2. the massive crankshaft and the large dimensioned bearings.
3. the large diameter overhead valves.
The three gallons of oil capacity of the engine, clutch and transmission unit that ensures that only cool, clean oil gets to the bearings. 5. the automatic lubrication of clutch and gearbox from the engine.
6. the closed drive shaft with central bearing for noise damping of the gearbox.
7. the ball and roller bearings of the main and countershaft of the gear unit.
