Photographs in this listing were taken for eBay, and are current showing the vehicle as it is now. The previous owner of this vehicle, was master fabricator of more then 20 years experience in mechanics and custom fabrication with extensive experience working with series Land Rovers. He converted this Rover from a stock 109 RHD series Rover to a V8 conversion, all the knots of that process have been worked out. The new owner could either put her together as-is and go ahead with that plan, or re-position the motor mounts, ditch the V8 engine & modified transmission and take this Rover back to an essentially stock 109 RHD series Rover.

If going forward with the conversion is the intent, then comments below are relevant:
A 101 Ministry of Defence (MOD) 3.5L 101 V8 engine was custom fitted via a handful of minor frame modifications into a NOS military spec 109 series pickup rolling chassis with salisbury rear axle. A LT77 Rover 5 speed transmission was then custom fit to the engine. Once mated with a Rover series III transfer case and mod kit (not included in this listing, but available through Ian Ashcroft this Rover 5 speed overdrive furnishes the driver with 2 wheel drive, 4 wheel drive, and 4 wheel drive low range capabilities. The stock 101 engine produces 120 HP @ 5000 RPM and 176 foot LBS @ 2500RPM. Ultimately this means that no masts, sails, or hurricane force following winds are required to travel at highway speeds.
