Rover Scarab (original) (raw)
The Rover Scarab was a convertible four seater intended to sell at £85, and had a V twin engine of only 839 cc, which was rear mounted. Despite the engine position, the Scarab had a conventional (dummy) radiator grill at the front. Some other 1930s rear engined cars had a down-curved grill-less front. These included the Porsche Typ 12 prototype, the Mercedes-Benz 120 test car, and the subsequent 130 / 150 / 170 H, the Tatra V570 prototype, T77, 77A, T87 and T97 and of course the KdF-Wagen (later better known as the Volkswagen Beetle; see Volkswagen controversy). Only a few Scarabs were built, examples being shown at the London (Olympia) Motor Show and the Scottish Motor Show, both in 1931.

| dbo:abstract | La Rover Scarab était un cabriolet quatre places, destinée à être vendue au prix de £85, avec un moteur bicylindre en de seulement 839 cm³, qui était monté à l'arrière. En dépit de la position du moteur, la Scarab avait une calandre classique (factice) avec une grille de radiateur à l'avant. Certains autres voitures des années 1930 à moteur arrière avaient un avant incliné, sans calandre. Parmi ceux-ci citons le prototype de la Porsche Typ 12, les Mercedes-Benz 120 de test, et les 130 / 150 / 170 H, le prototype de la Tatra V570, les Tatra T77, 77A, T87 et T97 et bien sûr la KdF-Wagen (qui deviendra plus connue comme la Volkswagen Coccinelle; voir la controverse Volkswagen). Seulement quelques Scarab ont été construites, des exemplaires furent esposés à Londres, au salon de l'automobile de l'Olympia et au salon de l'Automobile Écossais, toujours en 1931.
