This 88" Station Wagon was imported by the Rover Motor Company of North America Ltd, South San Francisco, CA, and it arrived at San Francisco in 1963.

Todd Rueppel purchased this Series IIA 88" in 1993 .... here's a bit of history.

As you can see, a complete restoration was undertaken in 2005 and 2007...

This turned out to be one of the best ever 88" you'll ever drive. With it's 200TDI the on town mileage is in the 30's to the gallon, and it's road speed over Donner Pass is an easy 65-mph in overdrive with throttle in hand! Here is it at Danville d'Elegance in September of 2011 where it was quite a hit.  www.danville-delegance.org  Read on for the full story.
