Price varies depending on where you want to sell it.  SE draws a higher price
than NE or West Coast.  Condition is a biggie and if you are looking for a
return on an investment, adding several thousand miles of long trips to you
series rover is not going to help.  especially if this is your first rover and
you know little of it's peculiarities.  I'd always like to see another rover in
the states, if you kin is a good mechanic and driver, more power to him.  good
luck

Happy New Year and hope all is well with you and yours.......

On chance some of you adventerous types are looking for a unique trip, I
wanted to share information on a trip coming up in late May 98. We will be
heading up the Amazon and Napo Rivers upstream from Iquitos, Peru. Your
Rover will have to stay home on this one, in favor of a shallow draft
riverboat. I believe there are a couple of spots available on the trip. If
you have interest drop me a line or call.

BTW, I noticed that one of our group, Jamie Eisman, has an article
published in the recent Rover's North Newsletter.

Subject: Bulkheads

With all the talk about people restoring bulkheads, does anyone have a
used, serviceable one for sale? I'd also welcome one which could be
rebuilt, if the price was right. Also still looking for a good used
master cylinder reservoir, the metal can type with separate openings and
reservoirs for M.C. and clutch.

Subject: bouncing speedometer

The needle in the speedometer of my '62 S IIA  rises appropriately to 20
mph, and then, at about 30 mph, it starts bouncing all over the place.
If it settles down, it is a speed much faster than I am actually going,
at least judging by traffic and the speed limit in town. I took it
apart, examined it as if I knew what I was looking for, and reassembled
it in the dash. Same problem. The only thing that I noticed when I had
it apart was a weighted fly wheel, which moved quite easily. Flicking
the needle and getting the  bounce was no problem, and this action
reproduced what I saw in the car. I would appreciate any advice on this
matter. Do I need a new speedometer?.  Regards,  Phil

 Take your cable out, pull out the insert if possible and grease it.
 It probably is all dry and rusty, causing it to stick and then turn,
 leading to erratic behaviour.  Also, you can just replace it!

Any Series One owners out there?  If you are one, and have found an active
source of parts for your Series One (and I need many parts for mine...) drop
me an email directly to the below address, I have questions for you!  Like
where can I get a front exhaust pipe?  Where can I get a brake master
cylinder?  etc.!  Thanks.

 Shouldn't that be a 107 PU if a Series 1??  Maybe you
 have a Series II 109?  Many Series II parts fit a late
 Series 1.

Maybe so, but Series I LWB 2-doors, in '57 & '58, were 109", and the SWBs
were 88".  Only the LWB station wagons remained 107".  The reason for the
increase in wheelbase was to make room for the 2-liter diesel engine (same
block as 2.25-liter petrol/diesel).  So a late SI with this longer wheebase
is a good candidate for upgrading to the newer/larger engine.

Granny

From: Marc Rengers <mr@grant.media-gn.nl>

I've got none at this moment (in Holland) and as far as I know not 
needed. But if fitted it must work.

And I would adjust my headlights for driving in the UK. It's easy, I've 
got some UK-versions of the headlights wich I will fit when going to the 
UK.

Also I must say that the bulbs I've got now are really good: 140/100W 
from Sweden. Not legal here in Holland, but no-one has noticed it.... 
legal is: 60/55W. I live in the north of Holland and there are many roads 
wich are not illuminated. No signs of sharp bends and deep ditches. So at 
night these lights are tremendous!

Maybe its only me, but when I consider responding to a question I find it a
little tiresome to look up in which country the sender is posting from. This
is worth noting if it is at all relevant to reply - because a question of
where to obtain parts may be intended for within the USA only (or for that
matter only in one of the states).

My reply with sources within UK or Norway may be irrelevant. Yes, I know I
can find the information if I dig deep enough into the computer data, but
would it not be nice if everyone gave this information along with their
names, listing of their vehicles and so on?

Only a suggestion.
