1972 Series III Station Wagon
Right Hand Drive

Location: Fairfield, CT

This truck has been a heck of a lot of fun for my wife and i over the past year. We've taken it all over new england and it's run like a top without fail. Of course, it always manages to get us quite a bit of attention along the way as well.

However, with the new addition of our baby girl into our family (6 mo's), i'll be picking up a Land Rover that i can strap a baby seat into and hopefully has springs instead of leafs http://www.d-90.com/forum/images/smilies/happy.gif This truck has been my daily driver for the past year. It runs beautifully with a new weber carb and a full service tune up at the beginning of the summer by our local Land Rover mechanic, Dawson, of The Rover Shoppe in Fairfield, CT (www.rovershoppect.com (http://www.rovershoppect.com/)). The 72 cruises nicely at 65mph in 4th and up to 75mph in overdrive.

Additional Features:
- parabolics installed last year
- overdrive
- new weber carb early this year
- new exaust last year
- soft top w/ rear fold down tailgate
- tropical hard top w/ full swing out door
- new window channels on hard top
- new lamp kit all around
- full length galvanized roof rack
- new weatherstripping on hard top alpine windows
- new brake master cylinder
- great power, strong compression, brakes well

I'm asking $8500 for the truck. I purchased for $7500 and over $4000 in parts and service has been put into the vehicle over the past year.

couple people been asking about the frame... i'm gonna check it out this wknd, see if i can take some more pics and post them. the undercarraige of the vehicle had been waxoiled. i'll scrape some away to see what's underneath as well.

i've tapped several areas of the frame and it's been solid. i do recall my mechanic complimenting the condition of the frame when he did a lot of work in the beginning of the summer...

Hi John:

Is your Rover available for inspection? I'll be traveling a bit around the holidays and may be able to swing through and take a look in person. It may save some time and questions, assuming its not buried under a snow bank :).

Looking forward to your feedback.
