Hi George,
Actually, I am headed your way the end of next month. My older son an
his wife have just bought their first house and we have been invited to
a "house blessing." Durham, N.C., is definitely closer to you than
Vancouver is, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to bring. You seem to
have all the pieces that I have except the series 2 bonnet (which you
cannot have). There are (or were the last time I was there)quite a few
Rover parts cars in Durham.
I suspect that, being a transition model, the NAS 3500S may have
incorporated some engine compartment features of the Series 2 (New Look)
cars. As soon as I get over the flu, I'll try the Series 2 bonnet on
the 3500S just to see if my theory is correct. We haven't heard from
any of our UK bretherin on this matter and they have far more Series 2
bonnets than we do. I'll see what a check of parts numbers turns up.
Roverly,
Kent K.
