Damn, still a weak away from next one!

Missing the Eurovox stereo I see. This is such a magnificent time capsule, I am loving seeing it in all its glory. I grew up in a white 2 door, then a black 4 door. Now mum’s baby is my daily, a white, soft dash 94 Vogue LSE. I remember so much about the the early cars. The smell, how hard it was for me as a child to pull the rear seat fold release mechanism, the huge gear knob on the end of a 1.5 foot long gear stick, those holes in the dash, the petrol cap that had a spring release and then you put the key in. Such fun times. Back when I fought with my brother over who could put petrol in the car. The pop up ashtray... mum and dad always smoked in the car.
Right, I was certainly hooked and ready for the next episode!!
Im only 30% through this and it’s already very refreshing Andrew.
Everyone is buying new cruisers and building them up. It’s crazy boring, No adventure in it. Going touring in a old girl with a bit of character, having them fail and overcoming it makes for great viewing... I think that’s a small part of why roothy is so good to watch
And this kind of car is more attainable to the common fella so it’s much more relatable
Becoming readily unobtainable. The collectors have bought up the last of the 2 doors and some have the lofty idea they can charge well into the six figures.
Couldn't agree more just spent 2020 doing up a 300tdi disco to drive from rockhampton to Darwin in June/July bout 5000ks towing a trailer my mates think I'm mad but I can't wait
You can't buy back you youth, but this is the next best thing :) Makes me smile :)

Andrew St Pierre White, Drives across untold wilderness without the slightest stress. Andrew St Pierre White, drive a Range Rover to a petrol station, Genuine Terror in his eyes :-) Dame I love this mans videos almost as much as I love that Range Rover!
That look on your face when you are in that beauty is priceless.
Congratulations Andrew. This is going to be a great adventure!
Agree!
Guy at Rovacraft clearly picking up on the Holy S vibe when the pallet was seen and solved it on his feet.

First time back with a "new" old car, is all excitement, mixed with nerves when we are now so used to modern vehicles. Love the nostalgia of these videos.👍
A man reunited with an old friend. Looking forward to this.
For a seasoned traveller, your trepidation amused me - but I completely relate and it brought back the memories of bringing home my Series 3 Land Rover, broken chassis and all.. somehow we made it!
"What am I going to do with it..?" Surely all such purchases are from the heart, not the head... enjoy it.
This made me remember my ex Range Rover, the sound of the V8, the magical click when changing gears, the noise of the LT95, I just miss it ... I want to have another one again
I literally got chills down my spine! And almost had tears of joy for him when he started up while the old RR commercial playing in the background 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Reminds me of buying our 40 year old HJ47 Troopy, neglected for 12 years and driving it unregistered from Perth to the East Coast. We had to put gorilla tape where the roof met the windscreen surround because there was a hole that let bugs in and the noise was deafening 😅 great memories!
Made for great viewing though 👌👌 old 4wds with a bit of character and a story to tell are so much better behind the camara then a typical new cruiser or duel cab
You ask yourself "what am I going to do with it"...well Andrew your going to love it,live and breathe something your passionate about and have that wonderful sense of accomplishment...splendid indeed sir.
I have had my 1997 P38 for 15 years and feel the same.
Rangie! Bring's back memories of My Pop's 1976 2 Door in Cream! I loved jumping over the gear tunnel to sit upfront!
As someone who restored a far worse condition Jaguar XJ6L ,( a farmer had been using it as a truck in the fields) this is a gem. When done , my Jag took best in class at a concours.
This is the type of vehicle that got you started. Whatever truck you may build in the future, this is the first bookend of your career.
Personally, I would restore it to perfection, and drive it as if it were new. It’s a keeper!👍 Then, what patina it acquires will be you, and not just someone else’s neglect!
Watching your videos makes me feel like I am going on this adventure with you
I'm tingling with excitement just watching! They're like the Spitfire MK II of 4x4s.
The Mk2. Hmmm. Interesting thought.
Wow, it’s in really good shape for a 40 something year old truck, I love it 👍🏼👍🏼.
Rovacraft guy’s reaction is brilliant.😂😂
🤣💯👍 yup, priceless,
I actually laughed a loud 🤣. Wow!
Awesome production and story
Never mind the wonderful RR, YOU are an off-road classic. Brilliant vid, looking forward to the rest.
Ah the joys of memories of old cars they never live up to them.
Great adventure. This can be fixed....... this can be fixed..... this is an easy fix..... this can be fixed........... this needs a fix............. this can be fixed.............. Looking forward to reviving this 'Old Girl'.
Wow, beautiful car! There is not a bigger joy than getting an old rig and start restoring-improving it.
These are extremely rare in America. I could stare at it all day , going to enjoy this series with its progress, good luck .
Me being used to watching Vice Grip Garage: well I'll be dipped that's a nice vehicle, it's even got brakes and a clutch.
Nice car, I love these range rovers. Enjoy the rebuild
You can tell when you're excited, when you immediately check the oil with no rag or paper handy for your hands! :-)
Absolutely excellent!! Whether you just drive it back to Perth and be done with it, or do a full restoration, this is film-making at its finest. I remember your previous films regarding your love for the old Range Rovers. The story has gone "full circle"; come all the way back around to your roots. I love this series, and we're only one video in to it.
As always, bless you for the work that you do, telling these amazing stories. Be it traveling through Africa, or picking up a classic Rover, you have a true gift for telling a great story. Thank you!!!
Great story, I vê done it on a smaller scale with some iconic 88’s and 109’ series, that Range Rover would have been the cherry on top of the cake as we say it here 👌
Always loved LRs! I've had 2 old Disco 1s and still have a 1969 IIA. I sold my last disco and picked up a Hilux as a daily because I was sick of the endless breakdowns and repairs. Thanks to this video, I think I've caught the bug again. They're loud and they're slow and they're always going to break down but there is just so much to love about an old Land Rover
I have been waiting for this to drop! So excited to see this adventure. Thanks for sharing! -- loved it. Keep them coming.
my first car for adventures and hunting ,gift from my father model 1977 army green ❤️❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼
good memories,thanks
Congratulations on getting this Range Rover, Andrew! All the very best with the project. I'm sure it will be AWESOME!
Love Andew's fav - the two bottles of coke on the back seat @22:57
Seeing this reminds me of picking up my 84 G Wagon in Italy and driving it from Milan to Stuttgart over the alps. Having no idea what I bought an wether it will work. After 5 years of rebuilding it, I know I must have been mad…. Love your story
Oh that glorious sound of the V8. Loved the LT95 in my first 110!
I don't think you're out of your mind, Andrew. Reliving your youth maybe but what a great story it's going too be. Can't wait. 👍🏻 or should that be 🤞🏻.
So emotional Andrew! Beautiful story. Beautiful
The tail gate window frame is in awesome condition too
Also a Cruiser guy, but recently at age 65 bought my first Landy S2a in fair condition for a 50 year old plus vehicle. I am doing repair work I have never done before and loving it. I get up earlier just to do this or that small thing, I can't wait to get home so that I can do some work on it. I have an even older than me Landy mentor, putting forward the idea of doing a bit at a time and soon you will have a great vehicle. It has only been 3 months and I love it. You must enjoy this journey.

i love how it still has the key hole in the bumper for hand cranking
Great to see you in the Range Rover finally. Look forward to seeing more of the videos. One thing that stands out to me initially is the way that the rear sags when you accelerate. Looking at the vehicle, I would resto-mod it. Keep it as original as you can, but improve on it so that you can use it as a daily driver and for short solo trips. Considering the state of the garage in the coming weeks and months, I know it is just going to be filled with two vehicles that have your heart and soul in them.
All the best with the coming projects.
Something reassuring about having a pre 1999 model 4WD when you’re out in the middle of nowhere, alone. Knowing that pretty much any break down can be repaired to at least limp mode to get you and the vehicle back to civilianisation, is a comforting feeling. The hideously expensive and over computerised modern 4WDs break down almost just as much, and the only way out is a very expensive, very lengthy wait for tow truck to save you!
Give me to old stuff any day!
They built these things 20 miles away from me and still do , those 3 doors are worth a fortune now if you can find a good one that is ! Mk1 rangerover E type & mini ! Love them 😍
That roar of engine brought my memory back from 1978. You are a proud owner of original Range Rover. Congratulations!
What is the engine?
Grattu !
And we middle-age `young` men , can still feel the excitement we had. like it was when when we brougth our first car :-)
Good journey to Perth !
So Andrew, you have really done it now ! Are you going to live with 4 speed & earplugs. Find enough bits to install Fairey overdrive. Install a 5 speed box. ?
This is a beautifully told story.
I lived so close to there it’s crazy to see you go around my local roads
As previous owner of Range Rover Classic, and now owner of Discovery 200tdi i enjoy that video and project :)
It's a bold decision but end of the day would be supper enjoyable journey . Good luck Andrew.
thank sir for being a long time partner in 4 by 4
Clicked the thumbs up as soon as the opener showed you sleeping in the back seat. That's the spirit of adventure right there!
My suggestion take a spare accelerator cable on the journey and make sure it’s properly crimped, drove mine the other day by controlling the accelerator through a gap in the bonnet and out my window, 😊
Having owned numerous British vehicles, all I can say is “good luck”. 😊
I am both a Cruiser(89Fj62) and Landy a (95RRCLWB 25th anniversary edition) My62 is old reliable and my Landy is that 1st love you hate, but can't get rid of. When its running, it's just a beautiful ride and the Landy itself, it's just gorgeous.
This is going to be a great story Andrew! Such a nice and beautiful car that one can keep watching it for hours and a greenhouse indeed! Never had one but always admired great visibility of range rover and its next generations which unfortunately didn’t last for long and now all cars including Rangies are all about curves and small windows. Going to watch this journey for sure, can’t wait!
Just before you said "it's like adjusting the mixture on an aircraft" that exact thought was running through my head. Crikey Andrew, it is such a joy to see "old school" like this. Already enjoying this series.
Great production' fly on the wall as it happens video ' And O that feeling 👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
A new adventure . Happy Happy Happy.
Enjoy the moment Andrew, don't get so concerned. The Range Rover will make it back I am sure. ( my first LR was a County wagon, same motor , gear box and running gear).
I was waiting for Andrew to say I have done that before in one of these , reminds me of when I was young in my parents 1957 Land Rover, we went everywhere in the Uk in that towing a caravan
To be fair it's a magnificent looking machine 👍👊🏾
Very nice, love those old Range rovers.
looking forward to your journey with her. They are a her you know.
As the owner of a 1975 Toyota FJ40, living with a vintage vehicle is a very different proposition than the majority of your previous new car builds. However, I can tell you the feeling when you use it is nothing a new vehicle can provide.
Same colour as mine. A magnificent vehicle, something worth owning.
I am all for this. Like so many others said. This is adventure!
Sent chills down my spine... wow, can't wait to see how it goes!
Same here!
So well put together Andrew! But have a bit of faith. It's a lazy old Buick V8, that was actually a very reliable engine. Lovely and simple, which was its biggest strength.
The flashback videos were great. You must have your library very organised!
He’s a Virgo. What do you expect? 🤪😂
Great to see you rolling in the rangie, even better you were only a few hundred meters from my house after the fuel stop. Look forward to seeing the rest of the build
I'm yet to own one in reality.. This one is absolutely in top condition
If the engine and gearbox is good and there isn't too much rust it will be fine.
Bits wear out, rubber goes hard and flaky, bearing and bushings need replacing but the main metal parts don't change.
I bought a tired and sad 70 series eight years ago, she shaked and rattled all the way from St.Andrews in Scotland to the south of England.
Over the years I have replaced only wheel bearings and rubber items, along with track rod ends etc, front suspension and the barn door hinges.
It slowly got better and better and then I bit the bullet and replaced the 2009 tyres, (a bit hard by then) with some 33" KO2's. It is like a nearly new vehicle now.
These old 4X4s are worth looking after, the value of them keeps going up because they are easy to work on.
Congrats! A good going-over is in order for sure to ensure reliability. Lovely note from the V8 and that manual transmission. 😎
Andrew, I’m glad it has worked out to being what you expected. It’s funny how we are unsure of some of our decisions in life. But most of them turn out to be some of our best, in the long run. Myself with this being a second chance with your dream vehicle. Restore so you have the reliably that you expect from your and do as little as you need in modifications to do what you need. Stay true to your beliefs and you will have a amazing end result! Cheers
Looking forward to watching this all play out. Cool vehicle.
Wonderful, British at its best. The patina adds to the character. Congratulations Andrew.
My wife and I bought a 189X folk victorian that sat for a year, and was questionably maintained before that. I know EXACTLY how you feel.
They are a good-looking vehicle, especially in Sahara dust.
The segue from narration into the dramatic music at 14:37 is utterly masterful. Perfect, almost Hitchcockian levels of tension building...Bravo Andrew!!
Wow! This is a brilliant piece. Editing in old Range Rover adds and promotions in sync with yourself was a stroke of genius. The raw connectedness and closeness with the mechanical pieces can be felt and heard just through the noise in the cabin.
Excellent video Andrew! What a lovely old beast it is.Been waiting impatiently for this series to start,and am not disappointed👍 Could not believe how nervous and apprehensive you were driving it for the first time🤣 You’ve been spoilt with too many new vehicles! Look forward to the next part,keep up the good work mate!👍😎🇦🇺
Whenever you drive a noisy cars long range, I always use noise cancelling earphones, preferably over ear. Not quite orthodox but really helpful for longer stretches.
A brave but happy chap. Enjoy the journey Andrew 👍
Great editing .I Loved the old footage.Looking forward to the progress on this one.
Rangie Heaven, just down the road from me.
at 7.06 i'm impressed that the tailgate stayed up.
Enjoy the memory trip, it's good, memory's and emotions belongs to our life and that is good
Looking forward to seeing the progress on this. My first C.O. in the army was Blashford-Snell who led the Darien Gap expedition, well when I say led, he was an officer so he thinks he led
I love it. I’m sure you’ll have great fun with it.
Well done. Enjoy this adventure, dont worry so much its going to be so much fun.
So it begins. Really looking forward to see how the preparations go and how much work it needs. I certainly hope the work calms you down a little for the cross country trip, I was surprised to see what a worry wort you were when first driving it. I’m teasing, but maybe a can or two of petrol in the back might be a good addition. I loved the look on your face after coming out of the Brit Parts building, you can see the joy in your face, I can almost see you as a young man looking at the first Range Rover you owned. Enjoy this time, hopefully there is no time constraints. Good luck.
Do you ever publish any blooper clips?, I’d love to see some.
This is very nostalgic! I remember driving my boss’s 1983 Range Rover back from Bakers Hill to Perth, the thing hadn’t moved in 15+ years, a genuine barn find. I recall the thing was in desperate need of an anti roll bars because it handled like a boat. Lively drive to say the least.
Andrew is fixing to get buff without power steering!😂
It deserves a good quality restoration with a handful of sympathetic mods like some soundproofing and decent cooling. A lot of people make a fuss about patina, and I understand that on a special, historic vehicle, but not on a run of the mill example. Patina is just damage, and will lead to more rapid corrosion or other ageing.
I say Roadtrip! Drive it to the Off Road History Museum through Asia!
Love it, love it, LOVE IT!!!
There are two of these in my neighbourhood which are daily used, but both 5 door variants, I’m bursting to ask the owners for a drive
Can’t wait for the next episode, this should be made into a (however long hours) documentary 🥰
Now that sub frame lift kit is available and smaller wheels for new Defender. Woud be great to see build on that platform.
This car is so gorgeous!
I wish if Land Rover keep the Range Rover in this design like Mercedes did with the G class....
it kept the defender for longer time that Mecedes did with the g shit box uber expensive uber complicated more unreliable and thirsty than range or defender
“...a bit like driving a garden shed.” I’m stealing this line!
Haha, will have to steal this aswell
