I just dragged this Rover home last weekend. It is a completely unmolested 1964 IIA complete with Koenig winch and rear PTO. It is a one owner Rover that has sat untouched for the past 25 years. The inspection sticker on the window is from 1982.

What I'd like to know is HOW did you find it? Man that looks like fun pulling that out of the muck and going through it!

I found it on craigslist. The Rover was well hidden behind the house, so not visible at all from the road, which is why I think it sat un-noticed for 25 yrs. But believe me, it really wasn't fun getting it out. I hadn't used my hi-lift jack for a while and found out it was seized, so my only jack was a little hydraulic jack w/ very little lift. It took forever jacking the front end up a few inches at a time and blocking to get under the sunk front end. And once I was finally able to drag it rearward a few feet, I found that the left front wheel was frozen. I struggled with it for a while, but in the end the only way I could free it was taking the wheel off and breaking the drum in half with a sledge hammer.

Capelle- Is your exhaust distributed under the passenger compartment or am I looking at the picture wrong?

Thanks Rob. I found this one near Camden, ME. After sitting for 25 years, it was a real pain to move. The front end had sunk into the ground up to the diff. It took about 4-5 hours of digging & winching to get it on the trailer.

Mogly - great find. any chance you can post some interior shots? just curious, and always enjoy people's picts of their trucks.

Sure, below are two shots of the inside. The thing in the back is the PTO that mounts off of the rear crossmember. This thread should probably be moved to the "waiting to be rescued" area.

Very nice! Its always fun to find your long lost twin. What's the story behind yours?

Christmas 67

I hope that my 67 will survive the indignity of being a Christmas decoration--Perhaps he (or she) will think that it is an honor.

yeah I'll post a few more pics. My interior looks identical to yours. I'm pretty sure mine was also parked very early on in its life - it was found out in a field. Someone bought it, thought they could tackle it, but didn't - threw it up on Ebay, I got it as a present as a parts truck....but I can't part it

So it sits, waiting to be restored. It'll happen to both of mine in the next few years, once things settle down a bit.

one more that's pretty much identical to your 'rearward' shot.

The gray is pretty rare from what I understand..

Another day in paradise...

My 82 Series III RHD 3door 109 is finally back on the road. There may be all kinds of items left to bring her all the way back, but today she took me to work and to visit some of our projects. Life is good...
Happy Christmas everyone - have a great holiday!

I like your 109! I have the same body type on mine, except that my windows do not open.
Could you post a close up of one of them? Any idea who made them or if they are Land Rover parts?
Thanks
