    Hey new here, This my 65 IIa. Hopefully it will have the soft top on it next month and I can get it driving more consistently.

        nice and clean.

        just needs some OG rims/tires and side mirrors and you're golden.

          Yeah, the rims and tires should be in the near future and I just haven't gotten around to ordering the mirrors... The other Rovers are taking my cash flow right now.

              That's a nice example. Don't worry about the wheels or mirror. Drive it as is and replace what falls off. Eventually it will be back to stock.

                i mostly agree with you here. except for the simple fact that chrome has absolutely no place on an LR (and that goes for the first Series I to the current model year) especially when we're talking about rims.

                oh and AU88, let me know if you want to sell that steering wheel...

                  I somewhat agree with the chrome, in certain places it looks great, in others no. Those wheels are awful and need to go. Why would I want to sell the steering wheel?

                    I think early 2As look super in grey, but I hate painted galvy. Can't see what style the rims are, but you could always sandblast and paint them Limestone. Driving a windlowless RHD HT is fun, huh?

                      well... to be honest... i need an early IIa helm, and yours looks fairly decent.

                        It's awful... Im putting the soft top on once I get the truck to Atlanta and can store the HT in my garage... I would rather be cold and be able to see then cold and blind. I may post the hard top for sale... Im not crazy about the grey, I will probably repaint it the dark green and have some dark saddle style leather seats made at some point in the future...

                              The truck will be appraised at the end of the month for insurance purposes... Im interested to see what sort of figure Ill see.

                                well definitely let us know what the appraiser says.

                                also, how did you go about finding an appraiser who knows rovers?
