@@SeaToSkyOverlanding m6 bolts can’t hold a lot, but I would be more worried about what they are bolted into, and if that will hold. I don’t remember the details on Dave’s Santana and I don’t I filmed it up close. 🤔
@@LandRoverDrive yeah no worries, just got me thinking how he done that. I have a Santana 2500, series 3 chassis With defender look. It has a fibreglass roof.
Thank you! 👍😊 I have learned early on in my collage years that the people from the Holland/Netherlands speak English really well, better than Norwegians. Maybe due to their location I guess. 😊 Like the Series and the simplicity of it, and seeing this again I find my self wanting one. 😅
@@LandRoverDrive Dutch is supposedly is the closest language to English. It’s pretty easy for me to read to myself and comprehend. I had a seriesIII 109 hard top for years that we traveled all over North America in and that I used for work, including commuting around Seattle. It went nowhere fast but went everywhere slow. Putting the parabolic springs on it was transformative.
Aaah, that would explain a lot. 😊 I haven’t tried reading it my self, but now I need to give it a go. 😁 I find the Series to be a nice change of pace, you can’t be in a hurry to get anywhere when you drive it, a good contrast to todays busy living. 😊 We se a bit for the 109 here in Norway and a bunch of them is old army trucks. Many change out the gearbox due the low gearing on the army edition. Never tried to drive one my self so need to see if someone will let me borrow one. 🤞😊
@@LandRoverDrive yeah I wouldn’t recommend changing the axle gears especially if you need to climb any type of mountains. I was able to keep up with Seattle highway traffic with the 2.25l petrol. It would deafen you though.
@@jdenmark1287 Haha, not very good for making overland videos. 😅 I don't know the gearing ration and the difference between the civil vs the army version. I just see the civil one is the most popular one here.
Nice video. Looks like there was some good vehicles there. I liked the quick glimpse of a couple of Freelanders near the beginning. The Santana looked good too.
The red Freelander is really nice, I has been on a trip with us before, the Eikesdal trip where we go Overlanding in Norway. I really like the Santana overland build, I find it so fun to see the different solutions people come up with, and Dave here had some really smart ones. 👍😊
Øysand camping is a great location and when the weather is right it can be really nice. 😊 We actually ended up with a campfire on the beach that night with a beautiful sun set.👌
I am not going to argue about the first years of the Santana build LRs but I will have to explain a few things here about the later models. See in England, British Leyland (BLC) was slowly but surely shifting from Land Rover (The end of it's days came) to Range Rover. I am not sure whether it was de Land Rover division within BLC or that it was BLC itself who decided to seas producing the Land Rover in the late sixties/early seventies while the Range Rover was introduced in the late sixties to take over from Land Rover Defender, although they did not have that Defender name yet. Anyway, as a result that BLC did not want to spend any dime into the ending model of Land-Rover in England. High Quality never was a reason to purchase a Land-Rover, nor a Rang-Rover for all that matters, but when the decision was taken to stop producing the Land-Rover, Quality really went down the hill. In the meanwhile in Spain at the Santa Ana plant they were successfully producing their Santana's which also were going down in quality, since the build kits came from England. At Santana they've had many boardroom meetings and somewhere along this quality disaster that took place, the board at Santana decided over a period of time for more and increasingly more parts no longer to be depending of BLC and so @ Santana they started to shop for better parts or even started to develop their own parts and even their own engines. Due to the success they had with their Santana's which increasingly were no longer equipped with BLC parts, they found out that their Santana's increasingly got better and better in quality as well. In this period they also changed all their bolt and nuts into metrics and more changes were a fact. In the eighties this leaded to a firm discussion between Land Rover England and Santana Land Rover with the result that Santana was dismissed to use no longer the Land Rover name on their products anymore. This was after Land-Rover England decided not to discontinue their Land-Rover Defenders but to have a second make next to Rang-Rover. This is the reason why on the Santana's from the eighties you will not find any Land-Rover badge anywhere in the Santana's. In fact the only make you'll find is Santana. In fact the relationship between England and Spain were very much disturbed, so much that in the end Santana still made their vehicles but now no longer with a (original Land Rover or enhanced Santana) land-Rover engine, but a Iveco diesel engine; the Anibal. In fact...in the end it was the Italian company of Iveco which purchased Santana and started producing their own version of the Iveco Santana Land-Rover called: Massif Now, we're talking because now these vehicles really are in high quality, with a strong motor and classic but retro looks. These vehicles are only second hand for sale since they are no longer in production.
I don't remember if there were any there. Need to double check the footage as I find that really weird as there is a lot of D2s in Norway. But I was there the last two days so a lot had come and gone before I got there. 😊
How about that Series 3? 😱 Who wants to see more Overland build videos? 🤔
Great idea with the hammock
Yeah, was surprised my self. Simple and doesn’t take up any room when packed away. 👌😊
@@LandRoverDrive i had a look today in my Santana 2500, it’s m6 bolts in the roof. No idea if this will hold

Nicely done! It’s a riot on how English is the common language everywhere and you all speak so well.
Nice Santana .

Thank you! I like these kind of videos where you can see other peoples setup and hearing their story. 👍😊
More videos like this!😃👍
👍😊 I like these types of videos too and will definitely make more. Need to find the next candidate. 😊

@@LandRoverDrive I agree. I may implement a couple of his ideas on mine.
@@The-Observer I have made a list of things I want to do my self. 👍😊 Building the car is part of the fun I think. 🤙
@@LandRoverDrive Most definately. Once mine has passed its MOT I can look at more ideas.
@@The-Observer safety and reliability comes first. 👍 Good luck with the MOT. 😊
A fantastic selection of Land Rovers. Great location too, beautiful.
