More pictures and a video of starting from cold (empty fuel bowl and filter) Here...
I tried the ebay route but not a lot of traffic there.
This is my IIa, which I've had about 8 years or so. Since acquiring it I have done quite a bit of work as a rebuild, not a restoration. This is unapologetically NOT a rivet counters dream truck, its a fun truck you can take to get ice cream or on a trail and not be worried about. We do both regularly.
This truck does all the right things...starts, stops, moves, steers...It's a fun truck and will miss it, but have to downsize vehicles (I have the IIa, 2 110's (well, an 86 and a 2020), a D2, a bronco, and a bmw). I have been in rovers for 20 years...
Chassis is in serviceable shape. an outrigger a bit bent up but zero issue. Horns at the tips where bumper mounts are rough, but not the whole front quarter. I've had the front quarter break on a trail at tellico before...that's not fun... some easy patching on the tips would be fine, or don't do it at all. I would likely do it in a few years if I kept it.
I have the original heritage certificate somewhere as well. Truck was originally bronze green and is still... greens.

Truck is in Hartwell GA at the moment.
I'm asking 16000, but i'm open to offers and trades (I am shifting to watchmaking/collecting for a variety of reasons as a hint). I think I'm pricing it aggressively just to get it gone, but maybe I'm way off on the market. I haven't bought or sold a series truck in years and I'm not into social media any longer.
