First trip in the rover this past weekend. No problems to report, ran perfectly up to Pond Eddy NY. Averaged around 63-65 MPH to my surprise.

"new " Rover
Just got my first Series Land Rover. It is a 1960 Series 11 station wagon. I bought it close by in Prince George, Va.
The previous owner had it for 20 years but never drove it. He had the engine rebuilt in 1998 and had a huge stash of genuine parts. The previous owner was a beloved veterinarian and workaholic who died too young two years ago at 57 years old. I bought it from his son. The rover had been sitting in a huge dry garage for the twenty years he had it. The tires are decomposed and appear to be from the '70's. The body is very presentable with a few dents and dings and some bad looking paint. The frame is solid except for some rust in the rear cross member. The front horns, outriggers, etc. are solid. The bulkhead is mostly solid with great door posts but some footwell rust. The engine has an alternator on it so I confused on the status of the electrical setup. I am super anxious to get it home and get to work on it. The shocks and springs look really worn and sagging so that will need to be addressed. The rear jumpseats can't be found so that is a shame.
I have a 1989 and 1990 Range Rover classics as well.
Look forward to meeting some Series folks.

The key to happiness? A garage full of Land Rovers! Take after getting both Rovers ready for the upcoming British Invasion in Stowe VT in a couple weeks.

'74 88 - my daily driver and once a year, week long off road trips in the Oregon wilderness areas. This pic taken just before July 4 Pacific Coast Rover Club trip to the Kalmiopsis Wilderness in Oregon. The side mounted spare is an early solution to not carrying a 33" tire on the bonnet or on the tailgate.Comment
