I thought I would start a thread for this unit as I start to ponder what I have got myself into...

Looks great. Are you still running the six cylinder?

Lots of little changes made over the course of the NADA run.

All the final ones went to Canada and had lime stone rooves instead of just the sun shield.

The floor also is slightly different around the transmission tunnel.

Anyone what’s the overall condition?

It seems like it's all there but I'm still trying to figure out what is original under the hood and what isn't. It still has the 2.6 litre engine with SU carb and Weslake head. It currently isn't running and needs a new frame. I am looking for the parts manual and made a post under the wanted section of the forum.

Other than the wiring at the fuse box it is very original looking.

I have an early one and there is a late one in my town if you have any questions.

Once you get the parts manual for the unique bits it will help.

I will say the regular parts manual covers the NADA as well.

The 2.6 is expensive and a challenge to fix, the Rover 2.6 is different in subtle ways.
