All my leads on vehicles have lead to different ends, but not to a purchase.
Still looking for a nice Series, and have decided to focus on finding a IIa.
Let me know if you see any new listings.
Thanks!

I know it's a little late in the game, but here's a detailed description/guide to buying a series Rover. This thread is so long that this may have already been posted. If so, please accept my apologies:

Thanks Mark for the buyer guide page!

What is the best way to do a money transaction?
If your not going to see the truck, or meet the owner, and you decide to buy it, how should the $ be passed?
Thanks!

Looked at that one! Thanks anyway!

I found a 1967 Rover, and I am buying it!!
I guess we ought to close up this thread right!
I thank all of you so so much for helping me find a decent Rover!!!
Now it's just the beginning!
Much appreciation!!

That's way too nice...

You WILL not leave us hanging like that.

We would love to get a gander at it!!

Atta girl Rosie. Welcome to the world of LR ownership. Glad you finally pulled the trigger. I think you are going to be happy with the new truck, looks like it's a good one.


But yeah, way to leave 'em hanging.

How do I post pics on this forum?
I would like comments on this vehicle from you all, as I won't know if I am getting what I think I am getting until it gets here! And the worry of the hauling process is a bit scarey. Have to bring it from Wyoming to NY.
I don't see a place for attachments on this tool bar.

[SafeAirOne]

Congratulations. As for posting photos, go below the box where you type the reply to Additional Options and select "Manage Attachments". See the photo I've attached below. Just watch the file size so it's not larger than 235k.

[Rosie]

Ok, hope I am not sending too many pics at one time.
Here are 4 pics. If this works I will send a couple more.

[Rosie]

It worked, so here are a couple more!
I have do do a few things. Needs a headliner. Wiper motors need work.
Needs seat belts.
No overdrive.
But it was taken down and rebuilt a couple of years ago. Only 500 miles on the new engine. New chassis.
Owner had to have two back surgeries so probably does not want all the jouncing around anymore.
What do you think? How much would you pay for it?

[Rosie]

A few more.
