It warms my heart and gives me hope, to see young people acquiring and putting love into what is old. The objects and things that were designed and manufactured from the time of the industrial revolution right up to the end of the 80’s (when aesthetic design died) are relics worth preservation. I’m the custodian of my old relics and I hope my children will get the same excitement and love out of them when it’s their turn.
Look after your Landie it’s a design icon and a object of enjoyment.
Oh how many times I have lived these moments over past 40 years of series II ownership in norther British Columbia! More so when I was young and poor, but the memories are vivid and I cherish every memory of bruised knuckles and small trimuphs!
Outstanding production of video 🏆. The up/down grade shots were awesome. Aces 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
great cinematography hope to have my 1963 series 2 captured like that one day
How do I put this into words??? You've captured the essence of owning a Classic Land Rover--- - If you care for it, and maintain it properly, it will take you to amazing places anywhere you'd like to go and bring you back with the same care you've afforded your Classic Land Rover with! Like a trustworthy old travel companion.
Wonderful short video and excellent camera work! Thank you for sharing! 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Laurenscurteis do you know the name of the song used in this video?

I just watch this, beautiful music synced to filming. Brings back lots of memories when I lived in the state of Montana. I could not have a Landy,Until now. 109 series 3 long wheelbase five door. A beautiful machine!
Pure class: the car, the setting, the filming. Please do more.
Thankyou!
Had a LWB, brings back memories of being colder inside the thing that outside it :-)
Mine had more draughty than a motorbike !
Outstanding classic 4×4 legend
fantastic video mate , love the Landy
when not on horseback the series two was our mainstay vehicle on a Western Queensland sheep station in '66 when I was an eighteen year old 'pommy' Jackeroo. Absolutely amazing and, like a good horse, she always got you home. One day after the rain hit us hard and quickly filled the creeks I was sent 'into town' on an urgent mission. The road, normally fine in the dry, was had churned into about a foot of mud so down with the yellow and off we went staying in second and keeping the revs just right to make the most of the 2.2litre engine torque, avoiding wheelspin and getting hopelessly bogged. This particular return trip was only 25 miles and fortunately I got on really well with the station's mechanical
and vehicle maintenance section who' let me in' on all the best techniques for off road in the Queensland mud! Not long after this comparatively tame event I had to deal with a suspected broken neck who had had an unplanned encounter with a 44 gallon drum on the back of our other series 2 'flat top'. Fortunately things turned out ok but this wasn't known until we eventually met an ambulance some fifty miles away. Having got to our immediate destination, a battered old out station but with a long enough telephone line (three longs and a short) to make contact with the local hospital some hundred miles away. We made our' patient' as comfortable as possible keeping a makeshift brace as still as possible and set off in the heavy rain in a yellow second gear and in and out of the creeks! Three hours later we hooked up with the ambulance then shuffled off to the main station after patting our series 2 and thanking her for taking care of us all.
Great story! Thanks for sharing
I just got my 66 series 2A pulled out from sitting in storage 4 25 years n started working on it as a project with my dad
Fast forward 2 2023 it's finally back on the road
This is wonderful. Absolutely loved the photography and the Landy going places. Thank you.
Great video paying tribute to the real spirit of Landrover! Gotta love an old series!
I had the honor to have a 1958 land rover on muy own, and i can say it was fenomenal!!!
I owned 2 LD,One is discovery one is 110..a few adventure bikes..Truly love it
Awesome video! I'm younger like yourself and bought a '59 Series 2 88 in 2017, that's I've been wrenching on and restoring. You captured the essence of the Series ownership.
Jeff Goss cheers man glad you like it!
I want to just loop it on my big tv
Best advert I've seen for Land Rover! You made want one so bad....👍👍👍
Beautiful video. God, I miss my '62 Series 2. Pure class.
I wonder how many of theses new fancy pick up truck will still be driving around in 50 years time like this old landy...
not many if any, [ owner of a 1966 109 ]
@Graeme S
Amen I have a 1966 88" formally owned by Marlin Perkins narrator of wild kingdom
Absolutely brilliant ! Just makes me love my Land rover series 3 lightweight even more!!!
Nice one mate I had a 66 24volt short wheel base originally used as a radio relay in Vietnam conflict a high ranking official wanted it and had it shipped home but it's nice to see another one still going
Great video - just amazing how you got some of those shots, especially with the snow!
beautiful truck mate. Cheers for sharing.
Thanks nice video..my dream car LAND ROVER
Just found this film, it's excellent well filmed iv just bought series 2a all standard , I just need drone , well done
Beautiful footage of an icon in its environment, the last of the IIa's to have the headlights in the grill as they moved them out into the wings for the next year, did over sixty thousand miles in five years in my 61series II, alas it now needs a bulkhead and chassis, can't complain as its now sixty years old and had a hard life, but who knows it may live again.☺.
Very nice, beautiful country for a Landy!
Dont give many thumbs up but this just made me smile.
Mark Smith cheers Mark! Glad you enjoyed it
Great video mate. Former landie owner (Series 3). Appreciated it.
Guys you are the awesome!!! Perfect close drone flying. Perfect looks series landy. Wow
Just found this video after starting work on a 1960 Series II. It's inspired me to plan a trip up the rocky mountains into Alaska when I get everything running well. Great job!
Robin enjoy the trip 👍🏼
That sounds epic!!!
Muy bueno y el carro muy bonito
Very good, not words.
Excellent footage! Very well done. I have a 1966 88" I'm hoping to get on the road maybe in 2021.
Im buying a series 2 pickup in 8 months!!!! In Landrover defender green!
Lovely work :)
Boy..this looked just like our Land Rover on our hill farm 100 miles South of you in the Cambrian mountains.
Diolch yn fawr iawn!
@@Laurenscurteis Croeso a diolch!
Sure is one of the most odd and amazing cars you could ever think of.
Lovely series. A toy in the snow
Excellent 👍amazing video rover best 4×4 ever .
like the video, but to rather listen to the landy then the music.
Precioso video, y precioso Land Rover 88" Serie II, este modelo es el primero que Santana Motor fabrico en Linares España en 1958 bajo licencia Rover, Saludos desde España.
Land Rover vehicle is great
proper job
Excellent job!!
Cory Anderson cheers Cory!
Amazing! congrats for the video!
Quality bit of footage.
Nice little drive up the Moelfre downhill track at the start
Ayyyyy 😁
This bid got me hot n heavy, excited for my future wife (series 2a)
great video
Just doing what it was made to do. No fuss No bothers, No fancy tyres, suspention, turbo, chipped computer etc, etc.
What was that all about, a music video or the making of some advert
Good question Gordon. This was my first ever film five years ago and my filmmaking has developed so much since then (check out some of my new stuff to see). If I was to film this film again now I would change so much (definitely choose different music) but I still look back with pride at this film however, using a borrowed camera from a friend I still managed to get great composition and tell a story. ✌🏻 Thanks for reaching out
Muy chulo ....yo tengo este modelo ..fabricado por santana con el número de serie 148 modelo 109 gasolina cabeza tractora.
Excellent video, They don't call it the best 4+4 by far for nothing :)
Excellent 👍
best 4x4xfar
Agreed 😊
Nice video! Keep it up
cool video
good vehicle, good filming but could have dropped the music and just had the engine sound
Легенда....
👍
Nice video. Shame about music as opposed the vehicle.
Laurens You are happy man . A family and a series land .”What else”..?
The only sad thing is that you can never get a new series land rover
I like landy, and i want landy
I'm love this song. What is the name of this song? Did you know? Thank you.
Reece - Lost in Translation 🙏🏼
@@LaurenscurteisThank you, I have watched vdo clip over and over again.
@@cloudcycling2801 that's awesome I'm glad you like it! Have you seen any of my more recent videos too?
Ahh ahaha Logan!
A real Land Rover! not like these new Discoveries
Ahhhhh.....
IIA ;)
Where did you film this. Canada ?
Nice movie btw. Thanks for sharing
@@Meerkamp Thank you :) I shot it in North Wales
It’s a series Landrover not Defender
Song?
SNAGGA'S Lost in Translation - Reece 👌🏼
Great video, even better with the volume set to zero.
graet jop
Lovely vehicle, but purely being pedantic, I don't believe the name 'Defender' was used before 1983....
incredibly good video thanks ,....better without the wailing woman tho
Amazing car! Amazing Video!
But why is that guy crying so badly in the background music? Had to mute it :(
NOT a defender!!
needs 24 fps =[
I own a car. 1982 model for sale
Great pictures, had to watch it with sound off though, bloody awful music.
music should'nt be there
Ditch the music. Cheers
Hey! Thank you for your feedback. I made this film four years ago after picking up a camera for the first time. Now I would definitely make it differently and the music I would change haha.
Noob visit sandakafu
good video but horrible choice of music
Matter of opinion
I prefer Bach, but this will do! In fact, I really liked the music. I'm new to Land Rover. I just got a 2005 LR3 (99k Miles). lot's of fun. Don't plan to go off roading. It is just handsome and rides nicely. Love the sound of the V8 powerhouse when it starts and move out/ TERRIBLE on gas......
