    Is that the rover retirement home made famous in the Riverport Rover series "88 in a day"? Much more desirable than the Rover hell, visited later in that video.

      Ha ha, no this is just a guy who has a collection of junked cars in his backyard and unfortunately some of them happen to be Rover..

      Pete was being fairly kind when he was describing the rover hell.

              Easy to clean the inside of the frame out. Extra storage too.

                4 Series IIs in New York



                We have 4 Land Rovers Series I-III? circa 1960s-1970s to sell, or to sell for parts. They are not in good condition. Will wait for best offer that includes hauling.

                If you know what series these are we are curious to know more about them.

                  Haha, I had just got on to post the correct link. Man! Why can't we find stuff like this out here in Utah! You're killing me here!

                      Because they all have the headlights in the center "breakfast" plate, they are either series II or early series IIAs. I believe the headlights were moved to the wings in 1967? So they are all 1960's era.

                      You would need to post more pictures of the engine bays, bulkheads, etc. for me to be able to give you more info than that.

                      How long have they been sitting there? How easy are they to gain access to, do they roll? These are all important questions to answer if you are looking to entertain any serious bids.

                        When I posted the link, the entire page was copied. I don't own the cars, just saw them on craigslist. Thought someone here would more than likely scoop them up.

                          This is a great forum... I'll post a few pictures of the ones I found around here.
                          One in GB MA that is sitting in the woods and another in Southwick MA which I am currently waiting to hear if it will be moving to my house.

                              WHY!!!!!! is everything in the top of the bloody USA.. somewhere in the middle or lower part of the US would be great!! I see a lot O' parts for my rovers but the cost to ship would be prohibitive.....
