In the UK folks can be very horny for their lightweights. Bottom line, it is worth what people are willing to pay. If it is for real a rare Rover then unless nobody realizes the ebay post it will go for more than other lightweights. So if you just fancy a lightweight Rover to run around in and not a show stopper I would look for a more average unit. Search the web for lightweight info, lots of books, magazine articles etc on lightweights out there. Hope this helps, good hunting !
