[ROVERNET - UK] Rovers for sale in the U.S.A.

[Richard Elliott]

Slats,

Thanks.  Regarding the Portland TC photos, I find it
intriguing to have no radio (in either the factory or
the typical aftermarket placement) and no AC. 

Although it lacks the AC (I reside in Texas - it was
99F today, atypically cool) it's apparent originality
is a plus.


RoverTexasly,

Richard
70 NADA P6B
