    Beautiful little Landy!
    Hope you find a good home for it.
    Got my Series 2A out for a spin today.
    I just got back from New Hampshire and Maine. Lots of them back there. Very few and far between here in California.
    Cheers Mike🍺

    Impressive the steering wheel was straight in a straight line and you didn't have to move it each way a quarter off a turn to keep it in a straight line all the old land rovers I have to drive don't steer as well as your series keep up the good work and videos

      Funny but the steering was seized solid when I got it, - but I worked out it was the top tube bearing that was rusted up - steering wheel off and fed oil into it over a few weeks and it freed off

    You probably watched that though again before you posted it. Has the town changed in those six years, with some businesses no longer trading? Certainly in Britainistan some of the old videos (and they don't have to be that old either) you can see loads of changes, especially street furniture and multiple roads signs that do nothing for the look of the place. We won't get into the main problem as this is not the place to comment on those issues.

      Lennoxville was f*cked - McD's and Valentines fast food are still here, but small restaurants gave up when the hand outs ran out. Rents are through the roof and to open a shop is financial suicide in my opinion
      Debra rented a space/chair in a small shop for gents hair cuts, but they closed, never to re-open.

    When I see LRs like this it makes me rethink my entire career path. Should have taken a path which involved my love of LRs verses being a boring banker, lol. Great video, thanks for sharing! Come visit an LR event in Texas one day!

    I can see why it's not used in the winter, you'd want a bonfire on the passenger seat 😂
