My New Ride With V8

[Oldbloke]

A Craigslist offerring lit my fire!  A 2000 mile Banzai run this past weekend netted this beauty!  Needs a lot of TLC, but hopefully by this time next year...!  Would love to make the V8 event in Colorado next year!

Certainly looks good in the photo. Tell us more about it!

Jim, Congratulations ! I used to own one.  Keeping it stock ? Let's chat. Cheers, roverman.

Thanks guys.  Been traveling a lot this past week and haven't had time to look the car over too much.  The PO didn't do a lot if any maintainance in a loooong time.  Gonna need a source for things like filters, shocks, brake pieces including rotors, wheel cylinders and even a booster unit.  May source an Edelbrock manifold and  Holley carb to replace some sad SUs.  Any advice or opinion is appreciated.

Jim, I plead dum-b.  What brand or model is it?  Had it been a Muscle Car, I probably would have known  :-)

No probs Kelly.  Its a 1970 Rover 3500S with 215 V8 the Brits bought from Buick.  Click on the next post down where I asked for opinions and click on the wonderful link provided by our moderator!

Well crap. Now I want one! That looks pretty clean and straight sitting there on the trailer. I hope the brake and suspension parts don't put you in the poorhouse!

Jim:
The same car that I got my donor engine from for my conversion.  Rock Auto do have parts listed under Rover and under Buick Skylark  215 cid.  Good looking car!
