Our Land Rover Series 2A Safari looked a good example on first impressions, with honest bodywork, seemingly no rust and plenty of signs of regular maintenance from a caring owner. Unfortunately, its lengthy storage period prior to us buying it at auction caused all manner of mechanical issues that later revealed themselves. From rusty and seized leaf springs, to contaminated brakes that only worked on one wheel and incorrectly-sized tyres, our Landy has already cost us a few quid. Has it helped this 1970s 4x4 drive more like a car than a tractor? Jack took to the Cambridgeshire Fens to find out…

Glad you found the camera!
So are we!
Restored Land Rovers dont like being laid up for long periods even in winter. You need to use them to keep everything freed up and working if you dont, you will have problems. That go's for any car..
Well done. Nicely presented.
These are very scarce here in the US, and especially here in California. When I do spot one, I usually break my neck trying to get a look at it.
Cheers!👍
Know of one of these exactly the same, excellent condition. Owner recently sadly passed away. No idea what plans there are for it.
nice I have a 109 it's not good on the steering but I'm hoping to look into it although it does have a galv chassis
Good video 🚗🚙🚘⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍
did the late 2A in England not get the metal Maltese cross grill like we did in Australia
"looked a good example..." I think that goes for most of 'em.... How often have you heard someone extoling the virtues of a Land Rover's simplicity..? Little did they know... But they are, somehow; worth it.
To be honest I thought the presenter (Jack) was fine.. great vehicles but scary how spend can rack up after a vehicle has been laid up.
Lots of good commentary there. Most landrovers are terrible to drive due to lack of use and maintanance, usually due to an absolute skinflint approach to spending. With a bit of investment they can be perfectly pleasant to drive. I wouldn't go parabolics personally as they often make the vehicle sit weird. New standard leaf springs are just fine. Good point about the tyres too. Many favour the monster truck look usually by fitting wider tyres. This leads to heavy steering and rubbish habdling, as well as the tyre and wheel combination being illegal when mixing old wheels with new type tyres.
Can you explain LR prices.....I just don't get it !
Only if you spend the money it would cost to keep up an AMG G-Class on an old Land Rover, the old Land Rover will go on like an old Land Rover.
If you don't, it will not go on at all.
Looks like its Crabbing down the road
I'd suggest that the phrase "A used Land Rover is a good buy" is an oxymoron.
As much as these adverts for free stuff I have watched every single advert I have watched every single one
I like this channel can I have something please
Don't get me wrong ads are hard but I've stuck with it
From the factory it looked like it already did 100000 miles
These things are an absolute pile of junk
🤔 Who is this man 👨?. I mean who is this presenter. I thought I was watching another channel by mistake!. Where were- are the regular team ?..I stopped watching half way through !....
Regular team were in passenger seat 7:12
Is he related to Sam Glover???
To clarify, Jack is one of the lesser-seen members of the CW team; you'll see him in a few more videos moving forward, but all the regulars will still be exactly that 😁
I thought he did a professional and entertaining job.
I thought he did a great job! Very informative and well presented!!
