Peter Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Thought this might be interest. Someone is selling the last 1959 Series 2 Road Rover prototype (Only 3 exist, and one of them is at Gaydon). This appears to be Prototype No.9 which if correct was owned by Maurice Wilks himself on his Scotish estate. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...item=4588976779 Rover club details here about it: http://www.roverclub.se/roadrovere.html Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, and it wouldn't go down too well with the "Ghillie" on my somewhat more modest Scottish estate. Still the engine might fit yours Geoff How is it coming (yes I do nag ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEANO3528 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Well if there's only three left and one's at Gaydon, this guy seems to have the other two judging by the picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Geezer wants 6k for the asking price. Too rich much for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodrow Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Geezer wants 6k for the asking price. Too rich much for me. Possibley worth it to a collector, and a healthy profit over what it sold for a year or so ago!! I HPI'd it, the number is still with it which is good. Would be nice if it stays together.

He's going to take the engines out of mine and the donor truck (a disco he's breaking) and then I'm going over with a friend one weekend to help fit the new one.

My kind of weekend I see MikeManifold was the highest bidder, wonder if that's the same guy that writes the column in LRM. It would be good to see it go to someone like that who will appreciate it and do what work that has to be done sympathetically B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
