Hello all,
I am putting up for sale, one 1970 Rover 3500S.
It is available with or without an engine correct but not original to the car.
The car is from Georgia and was last on the road in 1979, while it has lots of faded paint and interior parts,
it is very sound from a body point of view. It needs a restoration and I bought it to save it from being scrapped
when its previous owner was moving. I have added to it as I came accross parts that it needs such as a hood,
rear decker panel, and many other small pieces. It is for sale for $600. There are alot of parts that would be a help to
somebody or maybe this bodyshell in a good place to start and use your current car as a donor. I will answer any
possible questions, have one of these cars I have restored for myself and converted to a Rover 5 speed,
and now am restoring a 1970 3500S for a customer. Contact me via email at gbbourque at hotmail.com.

Jefferson, Maine

> Slightly more annoying:
> Two of the timing cover bolt positions have a thinner casting requiring
