    Good Luck and have much fun. According to my records 544 began production 28 November 1966 and was completed 6 December 1966. Original Color was Limestone and it was shipped to Rover, Vancouver. I have copies of the Parts and Repair Manuals for our Units. I am an Original Owner. Jim Chandler (redbrush2@yahoo.com)

      So you own a series Rover that you bought new, how cool. I am told that much of original manuals and such are still with the truck, I hope it’s true. Yes I was told it came from Canada and I purchased from owner #3. Still original faded paint with exception of roof that has been painted a dark green Land Rover color. Can’t wait till it gets here.
      Thanks much for info.

        Love that it came with an extra motor. I find that most of these that come up for sale either have a non rover engine or come with a spare. Mine did!

                Great pictures, and looks to be in real good shape. The color of the roof originally would have been Limestone in an effort to keep the interior cool. patrickfoley1 (Jim Chandler-redbrush2@yahoo.com)

                  prior owner had from belt line up removed disassembled and painted roof a factory dark green and then all seals including door weather stripping replaced. All other paint original, an issue I have with the fresh door weather stripping is it is really tough to get door to shut flush.

                        Hi all

                        I'm new to the idea of owning an 109 NADA Land Rover, wondering if anyone might have a fairly original one for sale? I'm an old car guy who does his own upkeep and maintenance, I have three classic cars in addition to our four daily drivers, and would love to take on the responsibility of a remaining one of the 811.

                        Thanks

                          yes I checked they are riveted. I did discover the issue, the door is not aligned properly. It’s not sagging but needs to be raised about 3/8” so it aligns with the body line. Need to research best way to do that.

                            Sounds like me, I have a mix of vintage cars and A Series has always been on my list. The 67 just kinda popped up and once I did research on how few and cool they are I had to make it happen. They are way cool, good luck on your search.

                              Hi all,

                              Meant to get to this for some time. Last fall after a number of years I was able to obtain Nada 109 #34300385A from a friend of mine.

                              Truck has been off the road since the mid 80s. NO rust and straight, but, some assembly required. Plenty of new and spare parts were included. Also 2 6cyl engines, one has been rebuilt? the other is used but good. NO WESTLAKE head. The head appears to be a euro spec 6cyl version.Click image for larger version

                              I am hoping to gather more info on this truck from "the experts" and hope they (this forum) are still providing the registry stickers. ANY info shared will be greatly appreciated. My plan, outside the westlake head, will be a proper restoration.

                              Thank you.
