The record

This model depicts a Series I 109-inch station wagon carrying Cintec-style mobile cinema equipment. It retains the earlier Series I body and razor bonnet. The roof rack supports the screen, loudspeakers and a display arrangement of the projector and film reels.

Cintec’s surviving 1962 Cineroma leaflet describes a Rover-approved, self-contained 16 mm cinema on a 109-inch station wagon. Its illustrated vehicle has a Series II-pattern body, so that brochure documents the cinema system rather than establishing this Series I configuration. The brochure also shows a projector on a separate stand; the roof-mounted projector is a modelling interpretation. See the separate Series II 109-inch record for the later body variant.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
