In my travels I have come across a '64 Series II A. It is in very good condition, new exhaust, no visible leaks, interior is in excellent shape, right side steering wheel,could probably use new shocks, minor rust, rubber door seals are shot (bright orange color). What's a fair price?

What's it worth to you? They've peaked, and now are not as high as they were... it has to be cherry to command a premium. Problem is, a lot of folks with them still think they're sitting on a mint, and won't let them go reasonably.
Take a hammer, and thoroughly check out the chassis, and *really* inspect the bulkhead... if they're both not 100%, it shouldn't be considered to be in really good shape. Straight aluminum and paint are just eye candy....

Thanks for info. but since I have no clue what they were going for before they started dropping in price, could someone throw a number out there that would give me something to go on.
Check EBaymotors and lrx.com to see how much they are selling for... the biggest price differences usually comes with the condition of the frame/bulkhead rust.
Okay, just some rough ballpark numbers, that may or may not be reasonable depending on your location, and with which others may totally disagree...
Anything under $2000 is probably gonna be a nice looking parts vehicle.
Something in the $3000 to $6000 range should be a solid, clean, reliable (for a Rover), capable of being driven. However, not necessarily the sharpest paint job, or strictly original, or particularly unique.
$8000 to $10,000, it'd better start to be dead-on sharp.... nice paint, no problems, no rust. Not basic, but kitted out nicely (winch, overdrive, rack if you like, etc.).
If you have something a bit more unusual, like a Dormobile, or a Carawagon, it can go for more. Especially if complete and functional, and hasn't had parts stripped out.
I've adjusted these numbers down.... the Series Rovers that I saw going for $18k to $22k five years ago, just aren't commanding those prices now, unless you just happen to have a buyer to whom cost isn't a consideration and don't mind paying anything that someone asks w/o having an idea of where the market should be.
IMHO, FWIW, YMMV.....
