    It came out of elkhorn slough near moss landing, Ca. I think it needs to be called swamp thing, since it was basically in a swamp.

      This one has been listed on Craigslist in NH for quite a while. Looks like it could be a good donor for body parts and likely needs a significant amount of work. Given the amount of time that it has been listed...maybe the seller would go down on the price...always hard to tell on these things.

        Anytime you want to take a drive and check it out let me know...I will probably be there all week this week cleaning it up - A LOT of dirt, pine needles and wasp nests.
        I saw it today while in Upperville!!

          Here is a Series III I just found in Panama City, FL on I98. It had a few weathered notes on the windshield with people looking to buy it. Any one know who it might belong to?Click image for larger version

            Linus- Awesome Rover! Congrats! I like the tow rig as well......I'm a fan of the 70's Fords and I have a couple of those trucks.

              NW Kenya sighting

              Already in safe hands at the Lodwar Lodge in NW Kenya but thought folks would like to see this very clean II (?IIA) with a sweet Royal East African AA badge on the grill.

                Found this one recently - haven't found the owner yet, but looks like a good parts rig for my '63!

                  Nice, being from that part of the country, the frame should still be decent too.

                    parts rig? from this side it looks like a relatively straight and rust free 88, wouldnt take much to get it going...unless the interior is ripped apart and the other side is destroyed..

                      Other side front fender is complete bondo, but that would be an easy replacement. Frame is rusty, so it must have originated elsewhere. Interior is trashed since the windows are broken out. I didn't pop the hood and peek, but the clutch and brake pedals are laying in the front seat, so I'm assuming its a wreck under there...

                                I just recently bought this rover a few weeks ago. I can't believe how much this rover has been posted to all the land rover forums. I am in the process of getting it running and deciding what to do with it. I may switch some parts out with my current 1966 88, but not sure yet. Probably clean it up and get it running and get some decent tires on it, and get my father in law to powdercoat original wheels back to original finish.
