About
Rover Series Restorations (RSR©)
We are a small, dedicated Rover Series restoration workshop based in Cape Town, South Africa, led by owner and restorer Thanda Ncube. We specialise in full restorations, mechanical and electrical work, bodywork and chassis repairs, interior refurbishment, and ongoing servicing — all carried out with care, honesty, and close attention to detail.
We focus on preserving the character, heritage, and usability of these iconic 4×4s. As a hands-on, low-volume workshop, we offer personal service and restorations done properly, not rushed.
“Reviving Legends. One Rover at a time.”
