<p>Hi Bob,</p>
<p>Your email to Rovernet will have been rejected due to the
attached photos, but I received the copy sent to my email. From
the photos, it looks like you have a good solid car to work with
and it looks like it may have a lot of original Corsica Blue paint
that will clean up well.</p>
<p>The 435 suffix serial numbers were the Series II Federal 2000
TCs. Yours is number 220 out of 238 serial numbers in this
range. I was a little off in my history in an earlier email: the
total range of numbers was 43500001 through 435000238 with no
actual cars assigned the numbers 027 through 040. So only 18 more
Rovers were made for the North American market after yours until
the 1980 SD1.</p>
<p>Your car has the correct P6 series II hood -- I would describe it
as having two power bulges, maybe designed to reflect the V8 valve
covers. The three-scoop hood would typically would refer to that
used on the Federal 3500S -- but that is not the hood on your
car. There are very few Series II hoods in North America, so take
good car of it. Make sure the latch and the safety catch both
work, because P6 hood have been known to come open on the road and
destroy themselves, not to mention blocking the drivers view. The
black plastic grill and headlight bezels are correct for all
Series II P6s.<br>
</p>
<p>It looks like you need at least the A/C compressor, the big heavy
mounting bracket for the compressor, and the correct twin-intake
air cleaner to clear the AC compressor. There should be a parts
list for all the A/C components on a sticker in the engine bay --
as I recall, all of the numbers refer to various American-made
components. There is also a new reproduction of the York
compressor available from US vendors. My recommendation, however,
would be to recommission everything excluding the A/C system.
After you get the car running and driving well, then go back and
assemble a working A/C system.</p>
<p>The lights and reflectors on the front all look to be correct:
the combination of side repeater lights and reflectors was only
used on the Federal 3500S and late 1970 through '71 2000TCs. The
turn signals under the bumper are correct for late Series I and
Series II Federal cars. The round dash gauges are also correct
for Federal 3500S and Federal Series II 2000TC (and most other
Series IIs).</p>
<p>--Steve<br>

<p class="MsoPlainText">I'm just a bit uncertain what model this
2000TC car is precisely. See attached photos. It has the
hood with three closed scoops; the gauges and speedo are
round; and the front grill is that black egg carton (which,
frankly, is an acquired taste). However, it also came with
an extra set of 4 fenders (without reflectors) and the
aluminum grill and headlight surrounds with Icealert
attached. The prior owner had done some body work on the car,
so I'm not positive what parts were really original and what
he might have exchanged. Any thoughts from this knowledgeable
group would be appreciated. Is this a Federal Series II?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">Hello Bob,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Supplement 605485 will get you a step
closer by covering the tandem
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">brake system used on North American
market cars from 1968 through 1971.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">These are the so-called Federal spec
cars, meaning they were modified to
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">meet US Federal safety and emissions
regulations. I have a photocopy of
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">this supplement and may have a spare
original. This manual will also
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">cover HS8 carburetors, but your car has
further emissions modifications.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">There is at least one later supplement
that covers the 70-71 changes. I
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">think I have one somewhere, but haven't
located it, so I can't cite the
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">part number. There are also later
supplements and manuals that cover
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">UK-spec Series II 2000TCs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Assuming your car is a Federal Series II
car (that is, it has the later
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">plastic grill, later restyled hood, all
round gauges instead of strip
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">speedometer, etc) then it may be useful
to assemble all of the above
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">manuals, because there are very few of
these cars and they are a blend
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">of late Federal components and early
Series II components. There were
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">222 Federal Series II serial numbers, of
which about 200 were assigned
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">to cars that were sold. There were many
more Series II 2000s and
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">2000TCs sold from 1971 onward in other
markets, but the rest of them
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">lacked the tandem brakes, emissions
control components and added
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">lighting and reflectors.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Hoping you and your 2000TC can come to
Rove America in Massachusetts
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">this year or sometime soon,<o:p></o:p></p>
