Was looking for a Series III but missed...

So tell us more, Bill, because that looks like a great Rover!

Series 1 88" with a galvanized chassis?
What engine?
Original steering box?
What winch?

Are there any more like it wherever you found it?

Very nice! I am starting to have serious SI love.

Sorry, I have to post again. Where do you find this stuff? It seems like there is some secret underground Land Rover pipeline that I'm not privy too!

It's an 86" Series 1

Galv chassis and bulkhead. 200tdi on SIII transmission with overdrive. So it is a series truck that looks S1 but can keep up with modern traffic and be used everyday.

Probably not to everyones taste, but I have enough totally original/restored series trucks and was looking for one that I could slightly modernize to make it more daily friendly.

I think its time to have an intervention with Bill about his rover addiction.

We should all sacrifice and take one.

I'm touched that you are willing to make that sacrifice for me... ;-)

I can't wait to see if the Vehicles Owned field continues vertically, or begins to populate a new column!
