A guy in Cranbrook has a great condition 66 series P/U fo sale asking $4,000.00 in the local paper. the frame is in great condition as he said he strips it down and repaints it every 2 years and has owned the truck for the last 20 years. It has parabolics and a new factory engine with the better cam. Anyway I can email his contact info to anyone who is interested. It is a great truck I would buy it but I just do not fit in the series trucks.

The bushes and trucks I mentioned are in WV.

These two are in Lewisburg, WV:

Found these two at a Brit repair shop in Frederick MD...there were a slew of other interesting British vehicles there as well, but figured these two deserved to make the 'waiting to be rescued' thread for the Rovers:

ilene

i had the one on ebay, people kept asking me about A/C, power brakes, gas milage and all that, told most to go out and get a jeep, decided to keep her.

got her back to homosassa, put some gas in her ,she stated right up, pressure washed her for a week, got her down to the aluminum, runs great, my other series 3 does about 45 down hill, this one will hit 70+, awesume. put in new seats, the engine stalled out most of the time, put a new carb on her, that did it. she now live in homosassa fla. if your aound this area she is on us 19 just south of down town homosassa at pawfection ranch

Those two in Providence used to be mine. One is a '60, the other a '64. The '60 is pretty complete but very poor condition, rotten, needs everything. The '64 is not much better and is missing doors, top, and maybe a few other things, can't recall now. A total mess.

I sold them to him for $1000. Yes he's dreaming all right. He seemed to know little to nothing about LRs. He probably thought he was on to something and he was robbing me! By the way, there were no titles for these two. Pretty much parts only.

A lot of the people I run into in the city while in my rover think they are worth their weight in gold for some reason. I tell them the real prices these go for and they never believe me, or think I am trying to modest. Same for my "eye-talian" motorcycles, the real cost is in the upkeep....
