Introduction and some general questions.

Looks pretty decent. Mechanicals and electrics can be fun to work through, pretty straight forwards stuff. With the extra inboard lights you have a neat place to put some high power driving lights, or just be glad for the extra lighting. That Royal Auto Club badge is really cool! Pick up a Green Bible and go to town...

From the few pictures, it looks like a pretty solid truck.

It appears to be missing the galvanized cappings below the door tops, but that is not a huge deal.

I am in the process of buying a 69' that had a similar headlight configuration that came from the factory like that. Having said that, I do not believe yours to be factory because of the year.......anyway, enjoy the extra light. .

Do you have any other pictures?

Here are the rest of the pics.



I was focused in on frame issues and trying to make sure it was not a fraken-rover when I went to see it. I will go again if I get serious.

I have since found out I can find the serial on the front right spring hanger. The data plates, if still there, are covered by the sound deadener. The deadener also covers up the seat box area so I need look around there as well.

Contractor, thanks for the comment. The caps you speak of are between the door and window area (removable door top)??? This is the first rover I have ever set eyes on so any other observations are helpful.

I have learned alot from this site already and wish to thank all who have contributed.

Looks like it has a IIa transmission by the shift lever. It also is hard to tell, but are the windshild wiper motors correct for a series rover? The shape of the housings looks odd to me.

Take a look at my IIA, here are the cappings I am talking about.



The only other thing I can really tell from your pictures is that the swivel balls leak which is not uncommon. It's an easy fix and not something I would even worry about. It also appears to have parabolic springs and new shocks which I would consider a + for sure.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I think I'm gonna go back and look at it again.

I'll try to get the serial from the spring hanger and take more pictures and post them up. Especially the interior.

His bottom dollar is 5k.

Let me know what you guys see and anything you see missing or out of place.

Thanks,
