It's great watching what a Series 2A doing what it's supposed to be doing. It's a damn travesty and shame they stopped making the true ICONS of the four wheel drive world. I'd place my two old Land Rovers (a 1957 series 1 diesel 86 wheel and my series 2A 1965 diesel 109" wheel base station wagon against any other. Greetings from Florida and the United States of America ! Safe travels and journeys. Thank you for sharing your series 2A with us.
Nice wee truck, you don't often see them in that configuration these days, most of them go for the full hard top with rear door, just a pity it wasn't a four wheel drive, that really makes all the difference! Unfortunately where I live (here in New Zealand) we don't have anywhere handy to play like you do, there where you are, anymore. Fortunately I am old enough though to be considered one of the last of the 'Great Mohicans' whereby I made the most of the wee off road nooks and cranny's that were around whilst they lasted. At any rate I quite enjoyed this wee video, thanks for posting.
@@jackthurgood9614 No I don't think so. Most of the Turkish vehicles used by the Turkish forces in Cyprus were some made in Turkey. The Cypriot national Guard has a lot of these British jeeps because the British left them behind when Cyprus declared indipendence and they also bought a few more during the 60s. During the 70s they started beeing replaced by Greek made ones. Right now they are not so much used anymore because many years have passed since then but I think some are still active in the Cypriot National Guard.
Thank you, magics of a old Land Rover nose lots our one has always had a squeaking sounding like a bird singing! other magic is the smells driving a old land Rover is a physical experience especially off road thank you enjoyed watching . Must get our MOT this week with the top off window folded a Old Land Rover is even better! Roll Cage too
John Stokes it's a pretty good site for all levels.. my style is slow and fail rather than fast and break stuff. If you fancy having a go I'll gladly join in
sounds good - might try and get a few Series out there - there's about 10 of us with Series that meet at the pub in Rutland monthly (more often I hope over the Summer). Looking for some non-damaging fun places to drive them 4x4 - Yarwell is quite local..
That's a really nice old Series Ii. You should rebuild it a bit more if you're going to treat it so roughly. Felt a bit sorry for it as you went crashing about. Careful you don't crack the chassis through. Old ones can easily snap their chassis between the leaf springs at the front, where they slam down and take a lot of impact. :0)
Andrew Austin hi, it depends on your needs and what you're prepared to put up with. The old land rovers are not great on fuel, very rattly and slow.. you can fit more modern engines for more speed/better mpg.. but if you buy any 4x4 from the last 20 years.. they are all better made.. reliable and do a great job off and on road. They have to be so they can compete on the market.. Japanese prob the best but it's all down to what your taste is and budget.. hope this helps and cheers for watching
Tatty Car Travels i'm a person who generally loves pre 2005 vehicles. I don't really care for comforts and I just need a thing to carry oil tanks to and fro. But how much an unrestored Series IIA may probably cost? Like the paint is faded, body unrestored (not very rusty) cabin looks like a burnt out house but the engine runs acceptably fine? By the way, greetings from Trinidad!
Tatty Car Travels ah, not so bad as I thought it would have been! I'm sure it's cheaper down here, because many regard these as old trucks rather than collectibles... And they're around TTD $20K-30K if you convert the currency which is relatively cheap... Thanks!
*Raises voice* "Yet again, we're in the Land Rover...." made I laugh! Looked like fun - I most enjoy offroading on dusty tracks, not interested in bombing through deep mud.... rocky hill climbs demand far more skill.
Thanks, we like the dusty tracks too, more of a challenge.. Hopefully be taking the Land Rover to a safari park in a few weeks so might have to film that :) cheers for watching
78a67h hey, I wish. It would be even better then :p it's completely standard :) cheers for watching, check out our other videos for more Land Rover fun :)
Edy Dj don't be disappointed buddy, Landrovers have came on a lot since 1968, just ground clearance issues with the freelander chassis you mentioned.. I loved off roading the freelander :)

Thank you for sharing your series 2A with us.
Great to see you having such a good time and using your series for what it was made for.
Oh and by the way, she’s a keeper.
Lucky guy.

0:52 it’s clearly a 4WD.
nice wheeling mate
Nice vid... deffo a keeper especially with that reg number 👍🏼
The Cypriot National Guard still uses them to carry officers around
And on the Turkish side?

@@productions4452 Oh right, thanks for replying so quickly.
That model didn't come with GPS because it would go anywhere you wanted .
Amazing for a 50 yr old car

LAND
ROVER SERIES !!!
hi guys, have you tried locking the diffs and using the low range gearbox. excellent video, really enjoyed it. 😀 👍 👍
Nice idea but Series Land Rovers don't have diff locks. Low range, 2nd gear, clutch up and use the steering to prevent cross axle. That'll all help
Chains.
great video - i thought Yarwell might be a bit too aggressive for Series Land Rovers, but yours seemed to cope very well

Hello. Now i know i can buy a car like this. Thank you.

Cheers buddy... she’s on a galvanise chassis.. had a swap about 12 years ago... but yes.. playing in the mud definitely where’s them out 😂
See if you can find someone to show you left-foot braking. Those dusty sections you got stuck on would be easier... Have fun.

I'm looking to purchase one. Is it worth it for daily use on awfully rough roads and long trips? Or are there better off roaders out there?

Andrew Austin not sure what it would cost in Trinidad but here in the U.K. It would cost approximately £2000 to £3000. :)

Andrew Austin just bought one yesterday here in Kenya
👍
I need one, I have a camper van to create
very nice

Land rover can only fail if its in the wrong hands
mmmmmm
If a 2019 Land Rover was made to do this stuff,then it would take 20 more minutes with all it's computers processing data!
2019 Land Rovers are far more capable off road than this is
Petrol or diesel?
thymightyjack it's a 2286cc petrol :)
I bet you have installed some positraction, at least on the rear, on that Series 2 to make it so capable.
78a67h hey, I wish. It would be even better then :p it's completely standard :) cheers for watching, check out our other videos for more Land Rover fun :)
It's great to see hillbillies having fun. Wish I could join in. 5:22 This guy needed some bottle.
Its quite dissapointing that this car is not as capable as an evoque
Edy Dj don't be disappointed buddy, Landrovers have came on a lot since 1968, just ground clearance issues with the freelander chassis you mentioned.. I loved off roading the freelander :)
How much one of those series iia use fuel?
Uncle V the stock carb 20l/100km with a weber carb 16l/100km but the weber don't like to go vertically . best to find an old LPG installation
Ruutiperse
Same engine as a Series 3. Should be on the road 12l/100km.
I have to fine tune mine. It is using 15l in the city.
Want a bit of off road training? I'm an approved instructor in the East Midlands. Drop me a line. Cheers
a want to be off road driver
Mahindra thar is far better . You will get a new thar with around 10 lakh Indian rupees
vineeth vijayan
Not street legal in most countries. Otherwise I would buy one.
You compare a Mahindra thar which is newer and younger than the late 50s series 2? Don't be an idiot, that's an irrelevant comparison
Dude you dont know do Drive offroud 🙈😂
Dude you dont know do spel 🙈😂
Better driver than most there
Sadly almost complete lack of off-roading technique.
wll he is Learning and having fun
La verdad, este coche no se merece a este conductor, es muy ""malo"", quizás un deportivo en una autopista hubiese sido mejor prueba...
