    This is my Rover on the way home from my brother in laws place where it sat for 32 years (last registered in 1979) I picked it up last spring and have been working on it since! It is a 1971 Series IIa! I have replaced all of the following: Master brakes cylinder, master clutch cylinder, clutch slave cylinder, all rubber hoses, dist cap, rotor, points, condensor, spark plugs, wires, all four brake pistons, had the brake drums ground, tires, seats, rebuilt fuel pump, replaced all fuel lines, new fuel tank, replaced all fluids (except for diffs), window tracks and various other little things as I got to them! Love the Rover and my kids/nieces have named it Dobby after the house elf in Harry Potter!Click image for larger version.  Name: dobby1.jpg  Views: 441  Size: 70.4 KB  ID: 6248Click image for larger version.  Name: dobby2.jpg  Views: 428  Size: 80.9 KB  ID: 6249Click image for larger version.  Name: dobby3.jpg  Views: 445  Size: 102.1 KB  ID: 6250
