Wanted: series IIa 88

[EASTTNROVER]

Nice!!! How much did you give for it?? Looks in great shape. Have fun!

[Rosie]

Was going to add a couple more but exceeded my quota, whatever that means.

Rosie,

How do you expect to learn about land rovers if you buy one that you're not going to have to fix all the time? It'll take you years to get intimately familiar with this one!

What do you think? How much would you pay for it?

I think you've made a good choice! I wouldn't know how much to pay for it--My Rover is a daily driver that is 3 or 4 rungs lower on the condition ladder (though mine's still not bad, it's more of a typical Series Rover).

Again, Congratulations!

[yank]

How did you find it? Congratulations looks great!

[Rosie]

I found it right on this forum....vehicles for sale.
I haven't sent the check out yet so I probably should not say what I paid, but it is over 7k and under 7.6k.

And it better not take years to get intimate with this truck!!!!!
My husband will have my head!!

[greenmeanie]

Oh,it doesn't take years to get aquainted - things start breaking from the day you get em.

Nice truck, enjoy you rownership experience. Be warned however, they have a strange habit of mutliplying if left in your driveway.

Cheers
Gregor

Hooray Rosie!

It's hard to judge completely via photos, but I would say that if you paid less than 15k, you did well.

Glad to have you aboard

I concur.

I concur.

+1! From one of the front shots it looks like the chassis is galvanized- and the springs are either brand new or rust free repaints. The motor looks to be an ex-mod rebuild judging by the light green paint everywhere. Hard to see the condition of the rear floor and xmembers from the pics- but I don't see any chalky holes in the floor from my vantage point. My guess is the swivel balls are new or in great shape if they match the rest of the car's condition. Don't worry about not having an OD- just put on some 7.50x16 tires and enjoy it! Looks like a real nice one- for a very reasonable price! Good job Rosie!

[Rosie]

Thanks Jay!
Just hope I am not getting scammed! Sending $ tomorrow!
I'll let you all know if anything gets wierd!
Send out the Rover riders to get him!!!

[Leslie]

Rosie, that's a good-lookin' truck. You've done very well, methinks. Even if you have a lot of nigglin' problems (which I don't expect), it appears to be a solid beginning point... a clean unmolested SIIa, w/ a galvanized chassis, etc.

It *is* a Series.... you'll get to learn about living w/ a truck w/ personality, character, instead of just like everything else on the road that everyone else drives..... sure, you're gonna get your hands greasy, but you're gonna love it...

Rosie, where did you find it and, if you dont mind me asking, how much?

[Rosie]

Chris, found it right here on the RN classified page.
