    Default New Member - New Series III

    I am a new member to the site, but have read for some time and been a subscriber the magazine for a while.

    Anyway, I currently have a 93' LWB Classic, but have lusted after a Series Rover for a long time. I looked online state side for a while and never really saw what I wanted. Anyway, I started looking overseas and the quantity of Rovers to pick from increased exponentially. After I got over the shear terror of purchasing a Rover overseas (not sure I am actually over it) I decided to pull the trigger.

    The seller in the UK has been absoultley great to work with and the shipping company I have selected has been great as well. We are waiting on the new V5 to come from the DVLA next week and are swapping out tires and then it's on the boat. Hopefully I will be driving to Charleston, SC in a few weeks to pick this baby up.

    It's a 1984 Series 3, 88".

    Some pictures:
















    I know that I will have tons of questions, so I look forward to posting on the site. I also look forward to the possibility of meeting some other owners in the area and getting this thing dirty.

    It's nice but before you write them that final check I would have them install the split glass in the windshield. One piecing it on a Series just looks all wrong. Might as well go one step further and have them put the heated glass in it. It's only another 160 UKP.
