Rover time, Part IV: Retrieving the parts car

Not long after reading about the Rover in Hemmings, Annie Dolan got in touch with me. It seems that her Dad was a big fan of Rovers, and at one time owned at least eight 2000 TCs. Two of them were on her property, about two hours north of Bennington in the town of Waits River, and she really wanted whatever was salvageable go to good use. “I really want to see a piece of my beloved Dad still in the world, so to speak,” she told me.

A stocking full of truth! Merry Christmas to all! I was trying to think of what I could give you, as a kind of gift for the season.  I love getting gifts and I sure love giving them.  But the readership of EMN is pretty large and with four children of my own, it would be a financial stretch for me to send
