It may be, however you have to remember that the rovers have always been a compilation of other manufactures parts. The all aluminum V8 engines began life as the Buick 215, the early rovers used Chrysler transmissions before they switched to the ZF gearbox. So,yes we have removed a lot of the "original" Rover parts, but it keeps in line with design flavor the Rovers have always had!


We will be using some distinctive Rover parts such as the hood steering wheel and other various parts! So not all is lost!

Yes, for the right price I will let them go! I've owned the rims for quite a long time! The tires are in excellent condition, no dry rot and 90% treadlife (stored inside most of its life).

Shoot me a PM and we can discuss! I can also send you better pictures! They will have a fresh re-balance from a brand new Hunter tire machine as well!

Cheers!

The dana 60 is basically the same thing as the British Salsbury that came on some rovers so that's kinda rover ish, either way it's enough to make me jealous.
