History: This truck was originally purchased and registered in the UK in 1982 (original receipts included). Rover's North imported it in the late 80s to early 90s and installed a new 2.25l engine and gearbox, nd ECR, he best in the restoration of Rovers, ompleted a chassis swap to a galvanized unit in the 90s. The original S3 grill was replaced with a S2a grill at that time based on owner's preference.
The truck has seen little use since restoration, pprox 3k miles. It was stored indoors.
Condition: Not a show truck that you will trailer on weekends or a modern $100k restoration. Looks perfect from 5 feet away. Looks appropriate without apologies from a foot away.
Title: Clean and clear.
Current State: I recently installed a new fuel pump and Zenith carb. I primarily have driven the vehicle around the island, antucket. Before using it daily, would recommend adjusting the points and tuning the new carb. Fully tuned, he truck would easily go for $25k. I do not have the time based on other projects to further buff this one. Sold as is.
Body: Bulkhead is rust free, hassis is galvanized and rust free, oor bottoms are almost perfect accept for surface rust on the very corner of the driver's door (now wire brushed and treated with phosphoric acid), ootwells with perfect floor boards and "ok" repairs of the upper section of the footwells (no rust or perforations, ut I would simply refinish if I was going to keep). I will include the new, olt in galvanized footwells for a simple, roper repair.
