I have a rover 100 project for future restoration and parts car to go with it. I would like to buy a running car if possible. I live in Virginia making a trip to inspect the car impractical. During my conversation with Ted I explained to him that I would be happy accept his judgment of the car in making a decision. Your follow up email to the list gives valuable insight in regard to Ted being able to complete that task.</span></div><div><span> I am very interested in the car. If you would be willing to be involved in the conversation I'm sure things would work to suit all.</span></div><div><span>Please give me a call, your assistance
would be greatly appreciated.</span></div><div><span>Charlie Fasano</span></div><div><span>804-898-1528</span></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <br> <br> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> On Saturday, January 25, 2014 12:00 PM, garrett bourque <gbbourque@gmail.com> wrote:<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: garrett bourque <<a href="mailto:gbbourque@gmail.com" ymailto="mailto:gbbourque@gmail.com">gbbourque@gmail.com</a>><br>Date: Sat, Jan 25, 2014 at 11:59 AM<br>Subject: A flurry of activity during this cold winter<br>To: garrett bourque <<a href="mailto:gbbourque@gmail.com"
ymailto="mailto:gbbourque@gmail.com">gbbourque@gmail.com</a>><br><br><br>OK, I am not lying! It is a cold winter...there was a freezing spot in all<br>50 states in the USA yesterday. There was more then one in Maine where I<br>am writing from! Thanks to all that replied, or even thought about my<br>friend Ted's Rover 100 that he has for sale! I wrote the note and did not<br>receive a copy of it myself, via email, so I was not sure that it went<br>through!<br> Ted offered me the Rover 100 last week. Ted has owned this for at least<br>15 years, since his customer passed away and left it to him. His customer,<br>Mr. Sexton, was an Englishman, who lived here in Maine during his<br>retirement.<br> As an added note, there is also a Rover P4 cyclops style car at his<br>shop. Definitely a parts car or candidate for a heroic restoration, it is<br>being offered for sale as well. It was beige, but is
now black, long term<br>outside storage, but with drivetrain still in place.<br> Now, back to business....<br> Ted phoned me on Sat. morning and indicated that at least two Rovernet<br>members had phoned him about his Rover 100 and asked about it's condition.<br>Ted does not use the internet, which might provide a little bit of culture<br>shock in this day and age for those trying to deal with him. Ted refuses<br>to advertise anything, that is why I would up writing this for him. Ted<br>sits back and lets people come to him...which oddly enough, they do...his<br>shop is a very interesting gathering place and has been open for 45 years!<br> In my first announcement about the car, I was brief, not knowing what<br>response I would receive. Some of you that I invited up to Maine about 8<br>years ago, for the Rover parts gathering party at his place, might remember<br>seeing this pretty DK green Rover 100. Ted's
shop painted the car while<br>the original owner was still alive, probably about 1990. There was a lot<br>more going on there back then! There are some rust bubbles showing through<br>again here and there and there are some spots where the paint has faded due<br>to unfortunate periods of outside storage. The car has been maintained in<br>a running state for a long time, with recent gasoline being added<br>regularly, but it has not been on the road, except to attend an occasional<br>car show.<br> I will warn you that Ted is not a man of action anymore, reaching 80<br>years old. He may not have the follow through to send photos to those of<br>you who have asked. I cannot be sure. He has complained that he has been<br>without much money this winter and has decided to start selling off his<br>unusual car collection consisting of Land Rovers, old Maine lobster boat<br>diesel engine parts. Most are suitable for parts
or restoration ...a<br>pretty nice running early 70s maroon Rolls Royce silver shadow, stored<br>inside for a long time and the odd old '70s Mercedes.<br> I will clue you in, for those inclined to travel, that there is great<br>bus service connecting us on US route 1 in Maine, with airports, and the<br>rest of the world. Large airports in the area are Portland about 1.5 hours<br>away and smaller commuter airports are Owl's Head, about 20 minutes away,<br>and Augusta, about 40 minutes away. If anybody wants to come and look,<br>email me directly and I will offer you a ride to Ted's shop.<br><a href="mailto:gbbourque@gmail.com" ymailto="mailto:gbbourque@gmail.com">gbbourque@gmail.com</a><br> This car could be as large of a project as you wanted to make it, or<br>you could drive it just about like it is. For the price, it is an<br>excellent car, but by no means perfect...knowing what a found Rover car is<br>often like
these days, this one actually runs. You will not have to bring<br>a basket to pick up extra pieces up off the ground, while you are coming to<br>pick your new car up to bring home!<br> On an opportune day I might be able to take a few photos for you if Ted<br>never does, but do not be afraid to come and look at it in person. You<br>will visit a beautiful area, even if only for a few hours, and meet, in my<br>opinion, a legendary guy who is little known in the Rover car world...Ted<br>Howard.<br><br>Sincerely, Garrett Bourque<br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: <<a href="http://rovernet.org/pipermail/rovernet_rovernet.org/attachments/20140125/971dc060/attachment.html" target="_blank">http://rovernet.org/pipermail/rovernet_rovernet.org/attachments/20140125/971dc060/attachment.html</a>><br>_______________________________________________<br>Rovernet mailing list<br><a
