Used Hard 1957 Series I - Retired to Daily Driver Status

I love the old series Rovers. Between this and your Cherokee Chief, one of my other favorite vehicles ever, I'm getting really jealous.

I'm vehicle poor. Got too many fun projects including this Rover, my Cherokee Cheif, a K30 Chevy, two Austin Healey Sprites, a Toyota HJ60 diesel high roof Land Cruiser, plus the Farmall Cub and others. I should be able to narrow it down to four. Four's a good number...

Forgot the '57 Willys wagon. Got one of those too.

...and a '53 Ford F500, but that's yard art.

Here are some more misc wheeling pics. Rubicon and Barrett Lake. My daughter's first trip, you can see the car seat I bolted in for safety.

These pics are the actual Four Wheel Drive and SUV magazine article from 2006.

What about the Commando you were rebuilding in a thread here?

I think I have this issue in my files somewhere too (because it has Broncos stuff in it).

The body is still in the paint booth. It should be ready for assembly in the next couple of weeks.

Having said that, I've just been shown pictures of a horde of Series 1 bits, just up the road. So I'll go and take a look

Oh, cool. Let me know what you find.

Still looking for front fenders and a grille emblem. I've given up on the tail lamps, in favor of something adequate and affordable.

I did take it to the snow yesterday. There wasn't a ton of snow, maybe a foot on the ground, but it did well enough. It's got one bald tire, one new tire and two mediocre tires on it, which made it kind of squirelly in the deep stuff, but I had fun. The narrow width of the axles didn't help either, as most snow wheeling guys around here have full width axles and big offset wheels.

I love your casual name drop of some legendary 4x4 guys (Harry and Marlin)! Great rig and thanks for sharing!

I am lucky to know these guys. These two especially are always very friendly and quick to help out with anything.
