I got a better one; back in 97 when I was running my 1973 Land Rover Series 3 a
Rover dealer had just opened near my house & just for the heck I stopped in at
the parts counter to see if they had some parts; I did not want to wait for
mail from my VT supplier. The parts guy behind the counter said that Rover
never made a Series truck! Well, yea Land rover pulled out of the States in
1974 & re-entered in 1987 with thr Range Rover.
You'd think I had two heads the way he looked at me..
Merry Christmas to all on the list.
