I have been a member of this forum for over 11 years and today is the first time anyone but me has ever mentioned a Rowan. I thought I had the only existing one in the world until seeing Ozones photos. Even then I was slow to comment because it seemed so unlikely.

I purchased a Rowan in 1989. It came with the frame and body with doors, trunk and hood mounted and hinged with the above earlier mentioned uncomfortable large door hinges. Because he was late in shipping it, Steve also included a free aluminum dash. He also sent the front suspension from the Mustang II where he sourced the front cross member. The body and frame had no factory identification anywhere.

I believe the owner of the company was Steve Overcash. He also had some kind of business that had some association with clothing. The brochure shows a top but I never talked with him about that. The kit fit so poorly I would rather have tried to make my own. There is a gap between the body and windshield in the center of the windshield base. It was not until years later that I noticed the windshield in the brochure was probably from an MGB rather than an AC. His Cobra had a Cleveland and maybe an automatic transmission. I still have his phone number from back then and have been thinking about calling him just to see how he is doing and find out a few more details about his “original” . He was a nice guy to talk with. May try next week. Will let you know what I learn if anything.

I am glad to hear that other folks remember the car too. Please let me know if you have other questions.

Thanks
Rick
