Hello ODK History Lovers
The Rover Regal was Rover Mowers top-of-the-line residential lawnmower for the 1970s.
This record covers only the original Model 27 chassis, even though 'Regal' is still
a model name used by the current owners of Rover today.

Its 19" cutting width combined with a high-arch chassis put it above other models
in the conservative name, range lineage (Prince, Regent, Baron, Pedigree, and
Thoroughbred).

It was powered by at least three different Briggs & Stratton engines: the 148cc 3.5hp;
the 187cc 4hp; and the 206cc 5hp. All engines had a higher specification: Hushtone
muffler, dipstick, air filter, and chrome bits. There is also good evidence that Kirby
and Villiers 2-strokes also powered the Regals.

PART TWO - Manuals
I have a good copy of a Rover Regal Parts Manual.
Again, members are welcome to download for personal use.

Interestingly, the Parts List says Kirby & Villiers engines were also
fitted to Regals. I've never seen any.

Collectors don't seem to have found the Regal...
