SXF 723 was found with a For Sale sign on the side of the road in Lake Worth, Florida. I bought it from a drifter who was headed back to Arizona (where he drove the Rover from). The engine had burnt valves from the trip, so I got a good price. I refurbished it to the original Bronze Green color, but not with the Home Office decals that were found under layers of paint. I sold it to a Florida friend Tim Slater (from Yorkshire) who in turn sold it to a Land Rover dealer in North Carolina.
