Very clean looking car.

The front looks high and/or the rear low though.

Not a fan of the US spec wood either personally.

Looks tight for the brake master cylinder with the other electrics being there.

Hmm, if that guy expects to get that kind of ransom for his SLi, then mine might be worth $6K or more!! Ha, ha!
Really, though, he needs to replace those wheels with originals and fix the missing panels in the center console. Car looks good in white; I don't think I've seen a white Sterling over here. There's another gent who has a 91' SL on Ebay that he had been restoring and a very large tree fell on it a few weeks ago. Sad to look at.

Hello!
Nice looking SLI! Yes it is a 91. The 89 and 90s did not have the lower air foils on the rocker panels. I have a 89 (original owner) and a 90 plus numerous Land Rovers. Where in NC are you? I am in Richmond and I have a good supply of Rover/Sterling parts. Give me a call at 804-833-8329 anytime if you are up in this area!
We can have a pint and talk Rovers!

Brits please note: That's "sills" to us.
