Looks very nice. I wonder if Lanny updated the tranny to IIa or a III. They sure do a nice job when they shoot those ads.

Link doesn't show a Rover - unless you mean the dog?

Showed up when I clicked on the link originally - did I tiny bit of searching and came up with this

I searched around and didn't find it. Nice - unfortunately "ready to take new owner on many adventures" (paraphrased) is hardly close to fact - it will end up in a collection and never/rarely driven. Shame - but beautiful.

I'm pretty sure Orvis is auctioning the Rover from the original post:

"COMING SOON:

Extremely rare Rover to be auctioned by Orvis.

In October as part of the Gifts for Men Catalog, Orvis will be auctioning of a very rare 2008 Golden Retriever, much rarer than the Irish Setters of later years. The Golden Retreiver was only bred for 3 seasons between autumn 2006 and autumn 2008 before cost-saving measures were instituted in the Irish Setter model. The Golden Retriever is the long-stance "AKC Sporting Group" style that has remarkable instincts in water and woods. The influence of its iconic body style is still seen in the modern Field Spaniel. This rare dog is currently being completely restored and finished by Golden Retriever restorative expert Barbara Woodhouse, and will be auctioned on the Orvis website in October. This is truly a one-of-a-kind Rover that when finished will be irreplaceable. It will be showroom new, original, and ready to take its new owner on great adventures. Check back for progress of the restoration and the terms and conditions of the upcoming auction. This is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind showroom legend."

I guess I'm not the target market. I never like to hear "rare" over and over.

Rare = rare parts, expensive parts, pain in the butt locating of parts.

Nice looking, minus the jerry cans on the front.

You're right--no more "dog holding leash" picture...
