Thank you Jim.

Hi,

Just got a 109 a few weeks back. The chassis vin # is 164001203. Looks like it was Marine blue originally but I don't know much more about it....

Here is a picture of today's look:

Thank you

Frederic

Hi Fred; The lowest Series IIA Vehicle Number shown in my 1987 Parts Catalogue is 24100001A That was (is) a RHD 88. The Vehicle Numbers in the Parts Catalogue all are 8 numbers with a letter Suffix A, B, C, or D. I suspect that your Vehicle Number has been damaged and now reads 164001203. I suspect the number should read "26400120B" This would be a LHD Export Model 109 SW with a 4 cylinder 2.25 L Engine.
Best Regards,

Good Morning Ray;
I am not a mechanic, but have hired a local company that specializes in the restoration of Antique Farm machinery. I purchased "Clarence" new in early 1968. The engine blew in 1975. I pulled the engine and put it in a less than weather proof shed.

The engine had to be completely rebuilt, including building up rusted out spots by welding. The cylinders have new liners and new pistons. The engine runs, now.

I purchased Rover P4 110 workshop manuals and parts manuals. They show up periodically on eBay UK. I have registered at that site, and have several "Automatic Searches" in play that cover the P4 110. I suggest you do the same. That is how I found "Beechgrove Engineering"/Classeparts and Alan, the expert on our engine.

Be advised, the P4 110 engine came in both a 2.6 and 3.0 displacement. Not all of the parts are interchangeable. The Parts Catalogue published for our NADA shows the same pages that appear in the P4 110 Rover Parts Catalogue.

Should you wish, I'll be happy to scan the appropriate Workshop Manual Pages into my computer and send them attached to emails in pdf format. I have the NADA Parts Catalogue in my computer and can send any or all pages in pdf attached to eMails.

I am committed to keeping 2.6L engines in the Unit's that presently have them. That is the reason I offer the above services to any and all.

Thanks Jim. I've seen the dispatch info....believe it spent it's life in the Key West and was rode hard and put away wet. Good to know someone who has a line on parts for this. It does still have the 6 cyl, but it won't turn over and I haven't torn into it (yet).

I'll keep my eyes on this thread for inspiration!

I've got 34300428A here in Hope, Maine. Petrol, Limestone- Bought as donor vehicle, but it's kinda growing on me.
Ray

Good Morning Ray; According to records I downloaded several years ago, your unit began production 7 November 1966 and was finished 22 November 1966. It was Limestone and was dispatched to Rover Jacksonville. Does it still have the 2.6L Engine? If so, I can provide parts sources for just about everything.

Pete; I have not received correspondence from you in months. I have found a company in the UK that is very knowledgeable with regards to the 2.6L engine. He can provide many many parts for the Weslake Head Engine. If you or anyone else wants that source email me and I'll provide the particulars. He is apparently elderly and does not always reply promptly, but he does reply. He has provided parts that I had given up trying to locate.

NADA Wagon for Sale

Change in plans prompts sale of NADA 109SW #302. Located in Portland, OR. The truck is an excellent restoration candidate. It is fairly complete and has a Chevy 250 conversion. It need to be taken apart, painted, and put back together. All the usual stuff like brakes, fuel systems, and wiring need to be addressed. And it needs an interior. A new back door wouldn't hurt. Corrosion in the usual spots, firewall, doors, and pillars, exists, but is minimal - all can be easily restored.

Lots of pictures at this web site:

Asking $4500.

A restored frame is also available in Paso Robles, CA, for $1000.

Patrick,
Could I ask if you have any info on #160A. I am looking to chase down its date of first registration so the original cosignee info would be really useful.

Regards
Gregor

Good Morning Gregor; 160A began production 17 June 1966 and production was completed 28June 1966. The original color was light green. It was dispatched to Rover San Francisco. This probably would have been Rover Motor Company
of North America Limited in South San Francisco, California. That Company no longer exists. I did some Googling and may have found a derivative of that company, the owner of which may be able to provide some help in your quest. I have a pdf I'll send you if you will email me so that I can attach the pdf to it.

I checked my copy of the NADA Production Records. 663 was built between 11July 67 and 10 August 67. The color was Limestone. It was shipped to a Carl Wiffman in California. I "Googled" Carl Wiffman and found nothing. I don't know the significance of "A". My 717 has the same Suffix.

1967 SIIa 109 SW #663A

I have a 1967 SIIa 109 SW that lives on Bainbridge Island, Washington. It was a 2.6 6cyl without an engine when I bought it 1998ish. I put in a 250 chevy and have been fairly happy with it. VIN ends with #663A.

The story I was given when I bought it as that it was used in the 1968 Mexico Olympics as a film camera truck. It had a crazy big front bumper with mounting points and (4) 2 inch holes drilled through the sun sheet on the perimeter of the roof. Presumeably, these were for the camera platform where the film cameramen stood. It was originally all tan and had been sprayed with black paint so I repainted it dark green with a tan top. It has an A at the end of the VIN which I am not sure of and it has a small (4inch) cast aluminum oval tag on the rear with "CD" on it. I was told this stands for "Corp Diplomatique." Any clues if this is true or a load of crap.
