    My guess is that it is in really good shape both mechanically and body wise. This is a high end Rover place and they don't sell junk. My ex-MOD 64 2a had all the galvanized stuff painted too origionally which I've removed a lot of it. I'll bet that when I get mine up to that condition I'll have about that in it.

    Because that is the sort of $ market Copely caters to.

    I believe that Copley sells cars (in a higher economic area) for East Coast Rovers. They have a pretty good reputation, so perhaps they have either gone through this car or serviced it.

    Makes me happy, as I will be intersted to see what it sells for. Just makes me feel better about having a 64 Series IIA!!

    Question fish eggs v. caviar

    Folks with lots of money don't believe in paying less for more when they can pay more for less, but with a swanky label! The other posts are spot on, Copley is a high end seller and is linked with ECR, a high end builder. Ask yourself if you use fish eggs for bait or as an hors d'oeuvre, and if you prefer the latter, you're a Copley Motors kind of guy.

    I have a great deal of respect for the quality of vehicles that the folks at Copley sell and the quality of work ECR does. Why question the price? Prices are set buy supply and demand. Where else other than possibly a private sale can you find a vintage Series Rover in this shape? The same can be said for ECR. If they can get plenty of work on vehicles that they prefer to work on so why should they take on any type of work? In a nutshell they are both high end organizations and desevre the reputations they have worked hard to earn.
