72 Rover LWB 5 door wagon-Diesel 4x4 Needs restoring.  This very rare truck was owned for the past 20 years by a famous novelist,James Deware from Oxford Md. It was his plan to have it fully restored and travel the USA back roads for appox 2 years looking for material for his next book. Health issues have gotten in his way and he sold me his Rover.  Very original, body interior rack seating options trim wheels etc etc. This is not some chopped up mud truck it looks as it was when it left the factory. A Survivor in need of love and a knowledgeable new owner. The Perkins 4 Diesel engine is not its original motor and is apart. The top half is removed and along with MANY MANY used and brand new in the box all labeled properly parts ready to go back together.  Original interior gives me goosebumps. All intact as pictures show. We are not experts but it is believed that all parts are there for the next owner.  We have done our best to picture all parts.  Mr Deware tells me his truck was running fine 4x4 works well etc approximately 5 years ago his family member took the Perkins apart as well as other things like the dash panel to start the restoration. Life has turns and the truck was parked and unloved for approx 5 years now. It rolls around and can be transported easily we had it brought to St Augustine a few weeks ago from Oxford Md for $500.  Rust? yes some in floors, doors, here and there,undercarriage and frame also see pictures not real bad but rust is present. We are showing all areas of rust in pictures nothing being held back thats not the way we do things.  Look closely at all parts we do not have the room to list all. All boxed labeled properly except large obvious parts.  Any questions you may have we will be happy to answer honestly.  Check our reviews we have been in business since 1948 and everyday we try to exceed expectations. This is the only way we know how to do business. Appox 35,000 automobiles bought and sold since 1948.  Good luck on this exceptional buy. Some feel they may be very highly collectable in the future.  Realistic reserve price questions are fine however we do believe in not ending the auction early. This upsets bidders and our reputation means everything to us.
