The Rhode was a British car made from 1921 to 1930. Mead and Deakin Ltd had started in business making cycle and motor cycle components, in 1921 they created a subsidiary company called the Rhode Motor Co with a factory at Blythswood Road, Tyseley, Birmingham producing cars.
This Rhode Light Four was first registered in 1924, and it is said to have been one of the first vehicles to join the Beaulieu Motor Museum. More recently it has spent a number of years in West Sussex but originally was first registered in Gloucester.
The engine on this car is very sweet, it has an over head cam arrangement which allows for better performance compared to others of a similar era. It starts and runs very well, there is no frost damage and sounds great.
The drivetrain is quiet, the clutch is smooth and the gear change is direct, it bombs a long nicely and the brakes are surprisingly good for a pre war car!
The body style is known as a Light Four, the car has been restored to a high standard in the past and the bodywork still remains in good order. It is very solid and the underside is clean, neat and tidy. The paintwork was also finished to a good standard and although not immaculate does still present very nicely.
The interior was retrimmed during the restoration, and the hood looks to have been replaced at the same time, which is still water tight and in good condition. It also comes with a full tonneau cover.
We have a large amount of paperwork, which also includes the current V5.
