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!
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!
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! 👍👍👍👍👍
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.
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.
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.☺.
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!
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
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
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.
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
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.
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......

not many if any, [ owner of a 1966 109 ]
@Graeme S

Diolch yn fawr iawn!
@@Laurenscurteis Croeso a diolch!
Amazing! congrats for the video!

Quality bit of footage.
Excellent job!!
Cory Anderson cheers Cory!
great video
Nice little drive up the Moelfre downhill track at the start
Ayyyyy 😁
proper job
Excellent 👍
What was that all about, a music video or the making of some advert

Im buying a series 2 pickup in 8 months!!!! In Landrover defender green!
like the video, but to rather listen to the landy then the music.
Nice video! Keep it up
cool video
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?
Land Rover vehicle is great
Excellent video, They don't call it the best 4+4 by far for nothing :)
Muy chulo ....yo tengo este modelo ..fabricado por santana con el número de serie 148 modelo 109 gasolina cabeza tractora.
Just doing what it was made to do. No fuss No bothers, No fancy tyres, suspention, turbo, chipped computer etc, etc.
Laurens You are happy man . A family and a series land .”What else”..?
Where did you film this. Canada ?
Nice movie btw. Thanks for sharing
@@Meerkamp Thank you :) I shot it in North Wales
Nice video. Shame about music as opposed the vehicle.
good vehicle, good filming but could have dropped the music and just had the engine sound
Легенда....
best 4x4xfar
Agreed 😊
The only sad thing is that you can never get a new series land rover
Song?
SNAGGA'S Lost in Translation - Reece 👌🏼
This bid got me hot n heavy, excited for my future wife (series 2a)
It’s a series Landrover not Defender
👍
Great video, even better with the volume set to zero.
IIA ;)
Ahh ahaha Logan!
Ahhhhh.....
I like landy, and i want landy
A real Land Rover! not like these new Discoveries
Amazing car! Amazing Video!
But why is that guy crying so badly in the background music? Had to mute it :(
graet jop
needs 24 fps =[
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
NOT a defender!!
music should'nt be there
I own a car. 1982 model for sale
Great pictures, had to watch it with sound off though, bloody awful music.
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
