    Here's two rovers I've found over the last few months.

    The S3 has been there for year and the lady says " My son is planning to rebuild it soon" every time I go to see her.

    The S2A I found near where I was working one day. I stopped and asked about it and the guys said he just gave it to his nephew. He wanted out of his yard ASAP. I got in contacted with the nephew and he said he would let me know his plans for it. I went back a little while ago and it was gone...

        hmmm,
        sounds like a great investment for someone with time... compare this to the bid someone mentioned on an earlier thread - that guys gotta be wanting to retract his bid and save a few bucks... : http://auctions.orvis.com/Bidding.ta...n_uid1=1972090

            hicap 109 rhd seen on ebay

            Saw this while purusing ebay...I have no connection with the seller. It looks like it could be a deal or it could be sketchy...salisbury rear axle, pickup cab, Hicap bed, etc make for the good. The brand new paint and could be hiding issues...but the seller rating is reasonable.

              not so sure i'd classify that as a "safari"... but not a bad specimen.

                Is this placard found in above ebay listing factory? It appears to be next to the hood hold down latch. The "Diesel Series III" seemed interesting.

                    I have no connection to these, someone forwarded to me and suggested I expand my fleet. I'm thinking not a good idea for me, but hopefully for someone.

                        I think the owner of those has posted on these boards before, the one with the gas tank off the side is mighty familiar, check the Jim ME topic about rear tank mounting...
