This is nicely "set up" for serious trail and/or camping use (parts list below) but it has not been used very heavily. It was a project to fulfill and idea and has since been replaced with something more appropriate for our needs.

All standard services have been done by Rover dealer.

The body is perfect, the leather is clean with no damage anywhere (2nd and 3rd row seats have been folded closed and covered by rubber mat 100% of the time anyway keeping them perfect.

(All roof items like Rack and awnings in photos not part of sale however wiring for roof lights stays with vehicle to use as desired by new owner. There are a total of 6 plugs with 2 being for the rear. All are on 4 separate switches up front in the roof) (Rack and awnings in photos not part of sale however I can direct you to the same source to make it easy if interested in same things) Even without the roof rack and lights, the wiring and interior switches will remain for very simple set up of your own layout. 4 switches total, 1 controls both rear lamps, 3 control L,R, middle front or side lamps.

The leather is clean with no damage anywhere (2nd and 3rd row seats have mostly been folded close and covered by rubber mat 100% of the time anyway keeping them perfect.

I've seen this thing rolling around town on a number of occasions. All the additions look professionally done and well executed.

I sort of don't want to let it go, thus my less than aggressive attempts in the past. It needs a new home though, one that will utilize all the fun stuff on it. I will entertain negotiations/adaptations to what is included or not to make pricing work for whoever (maybe you don't need the winch/have your own or maybe you would like the additional 4 18" wheels, etc ?)

So, if you don't want the extra wheels or stock parts, let me know and make an offer although my price is not unfair or more than you could buy it for any other way.
