- The two British Leyland promotional films I used in my edits: Sahara South and A Car For All Reasons. Both were produced circa 1970. Not monetised because I do not own copyright so these films and therefore this post maybe temporary if I am asked to remove them.
Welcome to "4xoverland" channel. The world's first and leading global 4WD adventure motoring channels. The title of this video is "SAHARA SOUTH and A CAR FOR ALL REASONS. For Range Rover-philes | 4xOverland"

**Thanks For Watching This Video** - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
No internet, no cell phones, no gps. Maybe just a 40m ham radio. Good times. Real adventure. I'd love to go back in time.
I’m not. Range Rover owner but these films are a valuable historical record, absolutely fascinating
Spot on Harold!
Thanks Andrew,these films are a lot of fun,I’m glad you’ve been able to accumulate them,and pleased that you generously shared them,cheers🙂
I kept waiting for Sean Connery in a tux to step out of one! Thanks for sharing Andrew!
Not a Land Rover or Range Rover fanatic but geez I enjoyed these old films. That one on the Sahara was gold!. Mike
A Very Rare Phenomena !!!!!!!!!!
Special and not repeated Yet !!
Latest crap from LR doesnt hold a Candle
Brilliant. How life has changed...woman smoking in the car...and then I heard 10000 years ago the mountains were forests...and 3000 years later...it all changed. Wonder what the emissions were that time? 🤷♂️
You are brilliant in what you do.
Those camel highways were lethal to live near, the thoughtless drivers with their long range fuel tanks just left them running even in 1'000+ tailbacks :)
We did Sahara crossing in 1978 by a convoy of Range Rover, Land Rover and a modified FJ40. Range Rover was what it was advertised point by point. Loved the vehicle since then.
Obviously no roof load limits back then , how did we ever survive growing up back in the 60s and 70s as kids I remember being jammed into the back seat of a Ford Cortina with 4 others kids and a dog on a regular basis you would get locked up for that now , how things have changed. Thanks for putting this video up Andrew
Right? My buddies dad used to take us into town for lunch riding up in the sky in the bucket of a front end loader.
Yes, I had to ride on the back troop carrier seats in the single cab tub Ute in the 1950's with my cousins - no seatbelts then. Never even fell out once.
Brought back lots of memories,had two 2 door and one early 4 door.and still own S1 after 46 years in daily transport.
The Range Rover classic changed the game entirely and the 4wd/SUV world has never been the same.
I still believe the original model to be amongst the most beautiful cars ever built.
You can see how this original concept has now carried over into the new Defenders, right or wrong.
I personally think that things have now gone too far over into the luxury segment, although admittedly that’s a personal choice for the buyer.
However, you could thrash those early Range Rovers off road and many readily did so.
Nobody in their right mind would take a 2021 Rangie into the Tenere today.
Sad.
Wow, thanks Andrew..the more you know!...love my RRC lwb
The Range Rover Sahara trials 1969....Had the experience of working in Southern Algeria with Minitrek the company responsible for the ground logistics, a couple of seasons later.They had built up a wealth of experience leading expedtions in this part of N Africa and were the company to contact for this Range Rover hot weather testing.They had close ties with Solihull,the workshop manager being an ex employee of the "experimental dept" at rover.Many of their fleet of Series 3`s had non standard transmissions,
fitted by Solihull for testing.Last watched this film in 1974,So glad it has reappeared.
Come on Andrew, give your viewers a little credit, lol. I’m a huge Toyota fan, but really enjoyed the Land Rover videos… I’d guess most of us aren’t “brand purists,“ anywhere near as much as we love the outdoors, overland vehicles and the way you present your stories. 👍🏜🚐
So, a car for the Farmer who can go to town with his whole family. Use that same car to travel, camp, hardcore, but also goes to a wedding. To me that sounds like a Pajero. That said, I love the Rangie classic!!! Thanks for sharing Andrew
Pajero was one of many vehicles created as a result of the Range Rover in 1970.
4xoverland totally agree!!
4xoverland i think the word “Classic” is the key here, nothing else in its time an probably 15 years later offered the offroad ability and on road comfort. I also like the P38, but they are very troublesome
wow the promo video! thats a throwback... its always been the classic for me. the 2 door. the later ones just never had the same style or impact.
Then you are going to love this! th-cam.com/video/u510qSZl-zc/w-d-xo.html
Pretty awesome, that kind of footage, gained my interest as a young man, I still get that feeling of adventure as a 54 yr old in my 91RRC. Its a love hate relationship, mostly love, since I still have it.
Old Range Rover films they never get old like the Range Rover classic, fun to watch 👍
من أجمل ماشاهدت شكرا لك
Hey, i have a jeep rubicon, and this was quite fun!
A car for all reasons - great slogan, I'm still after a car for the city and for the country. Modern 4x4s are often annoyingly large.
Wow ! Thanks for posting
Thanks Andrew. These, along with the amazing Transamericas video you uploaded a while back are absolute gems!
Love the "motering in a new dimension"
Am not a landy man but very enjoying thank you
Thank you for sharing Andrew.
Thank you so much Andrew for sharing these amazing films.
The world we give you Range Rover !
The rest is history. Fantastic 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Would love to have one of these early Range Rovers
The series 3 part of the expedition!! I love this show
It's actually a late Series IIA. The Series III was launched a year later.
Great trip down memory lane! I loved the Range Rover and followed its development and evolution, but could never afford one. I ended up settling for a base model (ex Gov) 81 FJ45 in the mid 80's . I loved that troopie for 20 years and so did my nephew for another 10. I never lost that fascination for the original Range Rover even today!
I am far from a range-roverphile but these are still extremely interesting.
Awesome history of the Range Rover
excellent Andrew
I am not a rang rover fan boy but I do love these videos. I am however a land rover fan lol so that maybe why I like them. love to have a old rang rover 1 day but the more modern classic.
cant wait to see what you get up to with yours.
It's amazing to see how filming has changed over the years! That golden and green/cool overtone is awesome!
These old videos are showing what car can do in very obvious actual true way...much better than most of the fake advertisements we see today
Great films and quite historical footage showing times that were not really that long ago.
4 mins in passenger lights up a cigarette! How things have changed 😄
Thanks for posting the 1970 Rangie full commercial . I'd not seen it since it was on in the cinema back in it's day . Through the seventies , the price went through the roof with inflation and popularity .
Jeep owner here. This was much fun .
Thank You Andrew!
Thanks for sharing these Andrew, brilliant stuff!
Lovely to see, thanks for sharing these Andrew and keep up the good work.
Really enjoyed those, thank you.
FYI - TH-cam still stuck adverts on cheeky bleeders.
Watch the video with the Brave browser on your phone instead of the TH-cam app.
No ads.
Thank goodness for the Land Rover 109 backups!
Andrew, you've been to my country, Algeria! What a beautiful thing to see.
I don't know if Andrew has been to Algeria, but these three films are not him.
Thanks for sharing!
thanks for sharing!
I enjoyed this but I definitely had a good chuckle at the apparent “sportiness” of the Range Rover 😅
Great to see old footage of what it was made to really do.when you look at them drive they drive so fast.
Any footage on Mercedes g wagen or jeep.
Keep up the good work Andrew 👍
The film is sped up, I don't know whether they wanted to make it more dramatic, or it was a timing thing.
That is fantastic footage ! Please more of this. (1984 four door owner from the Netherlands)
That was excellent thanks
Pip Pip, Tally Ho, Chocks Away Old Chum... I Love the Narration..
Don't know what is there for viewers to dislike the video. If you can't make a good content better than Andrew then don't dislike it. If u can then publish it
Wow. Just wow Andrew. The audio brings me back to my young school days. The unevenness of a public school projector. Man makes me wish I was born 80 years ago not 40.
Superb, thanks for sharing this with us.
I remember the very first Range Rover I ever saw in 1970/71 , blue, think it was Tuscan Blue, first one in Inverness Shire at the time apparently, very very different from anything else at the time and since, even my Dad’s S11A which I loved as I got to drive it around the dirt roads. Later they became a much more common sight but still quite intriguing although still quite practical and workman like, certainly compared to later Rangies!
When the priest was "finally" murdered by the Touareg....he must have been really annoying for someone to finally kill him.
Wonderful footage. Thanks so much for sharing these videos which would probably be lost to just a few. The Range Rover has pioneered so many features of modern four wheel drives and deserves its place in history it paved the way for others to follow. ( I know pave is a bad pun). Maybe one day I might get to own one.
indeed, full time 4wd, lift, etc
The first video is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I see the second video and then look at my 2001 TD5 and I can’t help thinking: where was the R&D money spent for 30 years? In beers? Maybe in Discos and school kids dropping Rangies? And now, out of the blue, they come with an UFO of a Defender?
Keep a eye on the roof racks
Interesting..
Even as a Jimny person I get this. One thing though, they evidently had not heard of mechanical sympathy back in the 70s!
yep that ad really abandons all mechanical sympathy
Many thanks for this Andrew! I loved the bit where the series 3 got bogged in the sand and the RR just shot past it. I was rocking back and forth in my seat willing the S3 on! There is a magazine article from my youth '100 inches of real car' do you know where I can get hold of this please? I cannot remember the name of the magazine!
Thank you again.
in 1976 i was driving a series 2a on a beach in the south west australia and was struggling, a range rover sailed past with no effort whatsoever . i knew then that a wanted one
Even as a land cruiser guy this is a fun watch. I’ve been thinking about getting a classic for the “challenge” compared to my fj60.
I wonder how many different ways this footage was cut together into slightly different films in order to have additional funding or profit.
Not a Range Rover owner but these films are just fascinating, I’d like to you 100 likes for this video, thank you so much.
Pick up a LC 80 series.Do it up good mechanically then set it up for touring.That will be a series worth watching!!!!!
I miss the days when British people said "cubic feet" and fahrenheit.
23:35 Rare footage of Andrew in his early years. You could tell the deep felt love for his land rover even back then.
and here I was hoping they'd show mom taking the range rover for an off-road adventure after dropping the kids off at school. hehehehe :)
Andrew you should check out Land RoverHeaven in NSW website, they have a 2A wagon that accompanied the Range Rovers across the Sahara
4XO. We tend to like dead people - as they're ok and have great stories to tell ! It's only some of the ones who are still alive which is the problem mista ? Long live a memory of Charles Spencer King. V
Mr White, what's the name of the grey color in your office?
I enjoyed these promotional videos......stupid question to most but can any 4x4 be driven that fast over rough terrain? Or is just spin?
My guess is, in these videos its no doubt for the camera-person wanting action, while the expedition leader pleads with them to slow down.
اندرو مرحبا بك في الجزائر في آي وقت welcome to algeria anytime
I wonder how many viewers at the time notice the licence taken with just how much luggage was removed from the Rover outside the Welsh hill farmhouse ? It now appears to have been refilled twice , with suitcases and chairs to boot . LOL . The team who filmed this area couldn't remember just where that building was .
In the last few weeks I have seen a number of old RRs on the back of trucks, somethings happening 😂
Im a 5 star man!
This lady made me have a smoke ...fuck it, better smoke in the mouth than cancer on me lungs😜
Jazzy.
The good old colonial days.
The thing with these tests is that it does not tell a potential buyer, the condition of the car in 3 years time.
Is 4XO changing its name to RangeRoversRUs ? Lol
Go anywhere car
Edd China is also putting an old Range Rover back together, although it's in a far rougher state: th-cam.com/video/hEDXvEPR_4w/w-d-xo.html
16:46 Climate change 7000 years ago? I thought that was a new idea these days!
Half the issues are apparently the cows in the fields nowadays, any wonder the climate changed back then with 1000 camels crossing the Sahara at a time, it was only a matter of time before that recklessness caught up with them! :)
17:07 hummm my Diesel car was responsible of climate change 7000 years ago
no, your ancestor's diesel camels. they didn't convert to electricity, so now the debt transfers to you
When I see a Range Rover I think straight away stuck up snob, similar to my thoughts of a golfer wearing his pink pants.
They're so ubiquitous now (the current ones) that I'm not sure your initial reaction is accurate any more. And lots of 4 door classics have been turned into offroad beasts by normal, non-stuck up folk.
@@j3652 You have to agree that Range Rover is synonymous with snobbery even the new models .
@@jacksemenoff2148 My experience of other Classic owners is definitely not snobbery. The guy I bought mine off was a really down to earth, Geordie mechanic who was just passionate about Land Rovers. I don't think new Range Rovers are all that different in their market to BMW or Mercedes SUVs. I'm sure there are some people who lease a Range Rover who'd like to look down their nose at people, but who really gives a toss what they think?
@@j3652 Did you buy a Land Rover or Range Rover ?
@@jacksemenoff2148 a Range Rover, a 1980s one, but a Range Rover is a Land Rover
