Lovely, although the wiring in the boot looks a tad improvisé
-
dont know Rovins much but doesnt look much for the money although i like its simplicity. reckon its worth half that but with a quick respray of a rather gaudy bright red and they look like a couple of modern headlamps dont they ?
-
They are quite interesting cars Richard although I prefer the D2 and 3, nicer shape but these later D4's do have a nice art deco dash and steering wheel. One of the things I admire is the fact that Robert de Rovin built his own "injun" for his cars, a fourstroke twin if I remember rightly which must have been very costly to do, other manufacturers at this time were just buying in cheap two stroke motors like Ydral, Zurcher, JLO. The headlights are correct and I think the price probably is too.

If the price is far to much and I bought it would I be Done Rovin? Sorry that is a bad one.
Had two of these and they are actually rather nice machines. Never got to drive one properly though.

sorry didnt mean to say i didnt like it because i do ! just that i dont like the last minute airbrush paintjob. internally i would say it was scruffy ! personally i think i would have liked it before the repaint more ;)

Strangely enough almost all the D4's I have seen have been dark maroon coloured, I agree the paint job does nothing for it.
