This is jogging a vague memory. Stafford Dovey has a very ropey 107SW =
for sale that has been hacked about and put on a (now rotten) utility =
chassis. He was however enthusing that it had retained some original and =
unique to the SW parts - I'm pretty sure that the rear bench seat was =
one of these. Whether he would sell the seat on it's own is another =
matter, but the vehicle has been sitting thre for a while now . . .=20

Hi Matthew and All,
One of the latest Rover mags collected in the UK talked about the =
different seat in the early 109 10 seat and later 12 seat. From past =
experience with Nick Chinery's, I felt that the 107 SW had more room =
than any 109 or 110 I'd ever sat in, now I know why. So, perhaps the =
107 and early 109 ( up to 1960?) shared the seat mechanism? The 12 seat =
minibus rule was a tax dodge, which Rover exploited.
We just viewed a 107 SW in the UK and was missing the rear seat. =
Perhaps it isn't quite as impossible to locate as I first thought if =
shared with some early 109 SW. Anyone been down this road?=20
And BTW, Dunsfold has/had a Steve Walker 107 SW chassis FS $1000 UKP. =
Not galvanized but fitted out for LHD or RHD. And there is this 107 SW =
near Huddersfield that needs a home......
I am saving my money for Micheal Burns Tickford. Buy the time the =
next owner( whomever it may be) gets tired if it, I might have enough. =
If not, I could learn more about reincarnation and hope for one in the =
next life.
