- Welcome to "4xoverland" channel. One of the world's first and leading global 4WD adventure motoring channels.
The title of this video is "I bought a 45 years old range rover. I must be out of my mind! range rover old"
My feelings after purchasing the old Range Rover......
New range rover vs old range rover.
Range Rover is a type of Land Rover model. The Range Rover lineup consists of four models: the Range Rover, the Range Rover Evoque, the Range Rover Sport, and the Range Rover Velar.
What have I done? Have I gone mad? What does Paul think? This does not replace any vehicle and will not become the channel's primary overland touring rig. It's a stand-alone project but we have many long-term plans for its development and use.

Welcome back to the dark side. :p
Surely, welcome back from the dark side!
One day he will be able to get a new defender👍
I believe you mean oily side
We have cookies and electrical gremlins!
One day ill acquire the funds to build mine
On the one hand I'm very excited for this. On the other hand I'm extremely excited for this.
It's tough when your feelings are so conflicting.
@@NathanKingOverland Truth.
Congratulations, Andrew! It made me happy to see the joy this brought you and reminded me of how powerful a bond we often develop with our trusted offroad vehicles.
Hi Andrew ...... How fantastic, this is directly how I found you and your site . A couple of years back I was in the doldrums with my current vehicle which was a nice very low milage Toyota 4Runner. I sat down one morning with some coffee and put my head in gear and thought "what do I really want as my daily driver " ??? .......... In the early 1980's back in the UK ( I am a Brit in the USA ) I owned an early two door RR which I truly loved and had always regretted selling ..... BINGO that was my answer !!!. Well having done some research I realized that two door RR's were never bought into the USA ..... to console myself I started searching on youtube and promptly found your film in Welsh Wales. I found you, I found your films and was rejuvenated ....... But wait there's more. Undaunted I joined a few RR groups on FaceBook and threw in a wanted advert for an early RR. To my amazement a chap from New Hampshire contacted me saying he had a 1972 Two Door LHD Suffix A ...... ??????. Now this guy was from small town in New Hampshire on the other side of the states called "Epsom" , I new immediately this was a good omen as I was born in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, UK which is not far from the original English town of Epsom. The car turned out to be a CKD from Costa Rica which had been assembled there in early 1973, it arrived in the USA in 2003 and had been sitting unused for over 15 years. My second piece of luck was that my wife and I were attending a wedding in Newfoundland and were flying back to California via Boston. We were due a days layover there which gave me the opportunity to rent a car and drive to New Hampshire to see the Range Rover .......... Long story short, it was outstanding. I paid the man a deposit and soon after had it shipped across the USA to me in SoCal ...... registration 72SUFXA. Recently my wife having finally retired we have moved to Prescott, Arizona where I am bring it back to life and returning it to its original spec ....... Yes it is White like your old one. I am so thrilled you have bought yours as I know that we share the same sort of passion for the car. Best of luck with the drive, I wish I could be there to do it with you !!! ....... Will follow with great excitement on how the next adventure pans out ........ CHEERS, Richard "Baja" Bell
Today's excuses for Range Rovers will never become classics like this beauty.
Nothing more true was ever said.
When the vehicles aren't serviceable by owners of only moderate skill, they'll end up economically-totalled and will be sent to the wreckers.
The reasons any given model of car ends up not being serviceable of course vary, but one of the biggest is a manufacturer's unwillingness to enable those owners of moderate skill to do their own intense service.
At this point in automotive history this is at a new height, automobiles have electrical systems so complex and essential to the basic operation that many models today are just going to effectively disappear.
As a Brit and a landrover fanatic and a fan of your channel I have been hoping for this since I discovered your Channel!
I guessed it would be a Rangie when I saw the video title 😂
What’s next Andrew..?? Gelandewagen 290??
Congratulations, and celebrations... I recognize your behavior... I used to drive a 76 RR in the early 80's for a few years, before a lot of other 4x4's, and bought a 90 RR 2-doors last february for my 60th birthday. You will love the drive again. So much memories! Congratulations again. I will drink a good Belgium beer to your new acquisition, looking forward to the next episodes.
I rarely comment, but this project stirs me!
After 20 years with Land Rovers I made the switch to Toyota a few years ago in the form of a 100 Series Land Cruiser. I'm thoroughly impressed with Toyota and don't foresee myself ever going back to Rover. That's said, there is just something about Rovers.(largely nostalgia and the good memories made with my father in one) Should space, time and finances ever allow, I'd love a Disco I or RRC project!
Bravo, Andrew! I will eagerly await each new installment of this project!
U can see the passion sparks in his eyes when he saw the 80's rover, its really heart warming to feed our inner kid from time to time.
I don't usually post comments, but this video required it. BLOODY OUTSTANDING!!! It's all about the emotions!!
Lovely Andrew. Your channel just took a great leap up. Looking forward to follow this project.
bought a 92 range rover in salt lake city. original and unrestored. great condition. drove to home to traverse city michigan. love it. my daily driver.
I loved the 105 build, I am positive I will love this build. Absolutely behind you Andrew on this build. I like watching old 4x4s being rebuilt and reused again. Good luck and becareful driving it back.
Beautiful Range Rover Andrew! Happy for you! It was such a pleasure seeing your enthusiasm and happiness! May it bring you decades of joy!
You you are living my dream :-) I grew up with my father buying his first one in 1971 and his second one in 1975. Regarding the transmission, my fathers hit approximately a million kilometers of abuse with original transmission and engine. Best of luck, following and excited for when you pick it up.
Congratulations on your Range Rover purchase, Andrew! I bought a near original suffix B Range Rover in Adelaide over 25 years ago and still own it. Lots of memories. I once shipped mine to America drove across the country, left it there and later shipped it back to Australia. I look forward to the upcoming videos of your Range Rover adventures.
One of your best, You have not gone mad. I have LRD1 & 3 & I love them. Covid has meant staying at home, your videos bring information, knowledge, history, but most of all LOVE for LAND ROVER, because they make you stronger when they break down.
This is great!!! So refreshing to see a classic being set up for touring and reliving the nostalgia & memories of your past.
Almost certainly the most exciting series announcement we'll see in 2021. A man so passionate about something has to be worth every second we can lap up of it. Please don't skimp on the content for this one!
Congratulations Andrew... We briefly discussed Range Rovers outside the Albany Entertainment Centre that night, it was obvious you still had the passion for The LandRover Brand. Well Done 👍🏻
I didn’t know I needed this series but I now do. That’s absolutely sweet
I saw this one up for sale not too far from me. It's absolutely beautiful! Congratulations, I would have loved this myself.
Brilliant, full circle, back to a warts and all British icon. Well done.
Yep. Lucas Electrics, here we come.
@@NathanKingOverland ah yes, but fixable with a multimeter and common sense, no hidious control units, fault code readers, canbus system etc. Imagine being able to change a bulb without clearing a fault code? Joy.
I do so love listening to you and Paul, just need a roaring fire …. you shoudl do a podcast/campfire bi-monthly vid where you just talk like you would down the pub. Like a 4x4 version of waldorf and statlor :-)
We are a British couple who have just returned home after driving our Discovery from London to Hobart, via Singapore. When we arrived in Hobart we discovered Justin Cooper, who I firmly believe is the greatest Land Rover mechanic in the world (well at least the 44,000 kms we travelled of it), please try to get him involved!
Also, please try to avoid Britpart bits if possible...
What route did you take? That’s fantastic that you managed it despite covid!
@@StephenAR South through Europe-Ukraine-Russia-Stans-China-Pakistan-India-Myanmar-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore-Australia.
We left in 2019, and arrived in Australia before Covid was big news.
Chris. Britpart have acquired a decent quantity of OEM and Original RRC spare parts which is why they were approached as a sponsor of this project.
Yes! Love it. I’m born in 82 and about to finish the complete rebuild of my 85 G Wagon 300 GD. Looking forward to see what’s happening
I know how it feels to find your car, the one that evokes nostalgia, as we get older is a powerful emotion... Ive learned to drive with my dad in a series 2 a had 2 defenders 5 discos across the series and a l322.. And for me it was the discovery 2.. it’s been 10 years since I owned a discovery, 2 and on the rare occasion I ever saw a discovery 2 it would turn my head.. I flirted with the idea of getting another one.. Then the nostalgia kicked in, buying a discovery again was on the cards.. looked at some rubbish but found a good one in the end.. when I got in the car it was like putting on a glove.. it felt right..there were some jobs to do and they were done and it wants for nothing... has it let me down.. yes!
It’s 20:years old,... But I wouldn’t change it, I will never get rid of it..
the discovery 2 marked the end of an era at Land Rover as the company moved too far away from the marques origins.. the new stuff as capable and technical as it is.. it’s not for me... Ive owned them but Ive never bonded with them..
In reality the discovery 2 had my heart all along..
You may have a breakdown or two, but seeing your video I can see your love for that car..
Your in it together.. I look forward to seeing the next series of videos..
I never write on comments usually, I felt compelled to.. Ive been there..
I wish you all the luck..
you will be bonding in no time...
😍 they are such brilliant brilliant cars. I used to trial in one. Quite astonishing where a standard classic range rover will take you. Great choice.
Wow , this is going to be fantastic. I’ve admired all your vehicles you’ve built on the channel , but this is going to be special . All your previous trucks have been great but either unavailable in the UK or too expensive to consider , this on the other hand , as a former owner of a 2 door classic Range Rover , is one I will follow with great interest and for once just a smidgin of envy . Best of luck with this truly amazing vehicle I hope you hang on to this one .
This is an exciting project! Thanks for taking us along with you Andrew.
Would love to know a little more of the history of the Rangie, as it looks not to dissimilar
From one I sold about 5 years ago in Perth. The buyer then was from the margret river region..
Amazing. Back to where it all started.! Looking forward to this series!
Having owned an original two door Range Rover (as well as a number of Series Land Rovers), I can fully understand where you are coming from.
Many congratulations to you Andrew from LR Sri Lanka! Love this!! 🍻🍻🖐🏽😁
Very nice, its about time, welcome back
Andrew....what have you done?! Now THIS , is a worth while project. I'm happy for you, to see you re-united with your old love. Congratulation, well done! :)
So very excited for you and for us viewers. Welcome back, although I guess you never really left!
I love it! My first 4X4 was a1987 Range Rover Classic. The bar for my expectations for 4WD Vehicles was set very high, right out of the gate. I wish I never sold that one. Later I bought a Discovery 2. I kept it for 6 months before selling it. If I could get my hands on (afford) a Defender 90 or 110, I would go back to Land Rover. But I have been nothing but impressed with my 80 Series Land Cruiser. Fantastic vehicle.
@Joanna Definitely! I would love to see that. LOL
This is going to be a good series. I cannot wait to see it unfold. Congrats on your purchase. I can't image your excitement. I'm actually rather jealous.
Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down people are just jealous can't wait to see it Andrew enjoy
I’m looking forward to the project. I really love these original range rovers. The design is perfect. Here is the US we never got the original ones, manual trans and diesels and roll up windows. Thanks again for the new series.
Congrats Andrew! I see the excitement in your eyes. I love the Land Rovers, but my only knowledge of them first hand was a 2001 Discovery II SE7 I owned for several years. My lost treasure is a 1971 Ford Bronco I owned about 30 years ago and would love to see again.
Andrew, I hope you will use it for overlanding. Not because it is easy...
But because it is hard.
Welcome Back to the Land Rover World Mate, we had been waiting for you!!!
Welcome back to the Land Rover family, we missed you for all those Toyota years!!
@@benwinter2420 🤣
Very good truck with some mods :o) I recently cut up my 1971 RRC after 25 years racing it. Biggest best fix is changing the wheel bearing oil regularly. Diffs are fine, but the races soon black it up.
Congratulations on your new Range Rover! I am sure you will enjoy working on it as I will enjoy watching this new series. I am looking forward to seeing how you will modify it and restore it
I knew it! I called it! I posted it on one of your previous videos: Go back to the old Range Rover. It's insane, but sometimes it's the only thing to do. I wish I could refurbish mine!
You have truly found a diamond in the rough!
Im very keen to see how this rolls out, best of luck.
Congratulations, Andrew! You are an amazing manifestor and an inspiration to all of us! Thank you, brother! :) 🙏❤️🤙🌈
Congratulations on your purchase. Can't wait to see more content on this gem.
Just love love love all these WELCOME BACKS, wonderful. Love the channel!
There was a Range Rover Classic for sale in a show room opposite Epsom station in 1975. Aged ten, I decided to save up for one.
I never did get one but it did get me into the 4x4 bug.
Such a great Dream and plan.
I and my wife will look forward to follow you in every one of the upcoming videos..
Thank you👏
You can take the man out of a Land Rover but you can't take the Land Rover out of the man ;-)
Very exciting! Good luck 🙂🎉
hope paul marsh can make it there, covid thing-wise... wud be great to see u two in a video again...
😍 finally. Wow. This is what worth setting alarm to be on time to watch every episode...
Andrew years ago you did what I was thinking you should do and buy a range rover classic.
I have bought a few defenders and drove them back to Melbourne from Cairns and Sydney respectively.
It's the best adventure.
You'll need to change the oils everywhere.
Make sure you use an engine oil for the gearbox or redline MTL. People put in ep90- box gets hot then you cannot select gears.
Do unijoints or at least regrease them.
Check wheel bearings etc. I guess it's all standard stuff.! Looking forward to the adventure!
this is going to be my favourite project. I too just recently bought a Range Rover classic
Thanks Andrew.... paul is a cool guy, sure with his help you will make it home.
Absolutely brilliant news Andrew. Am really looking forward to watching everything you do with the Range Rover. I have several Range Rovers up here in Geraldton including an '84 2 door Classic :). So yeah, please do VLOG every minute of of your trip back to Perth :)
The boys are back in town.
Good luck with the new/old Ranger Rover & the adventure. I'm looking forward to seeing it, it sounds great!
Congratulation Andrew. I fully understand and share your love of Range Rover Classics. They are AMAZING vehicles
Brillant, building a modern high tech vehicle is an easy job. But this is real passion....and there is no issue with roof load...
congratulations Andrew!
This video rekindles my love for Classic Range rover too (especially when it was under Americans - Ford) ....i remember looking and dreaming about owning one them and i still stop and look when i see one driving by.
So sad and tragic indeed that Rand-rover NO LONGER is what it USED TO BE!
Had a 1980 model, same colour, Saharan Dust ? but with door mirrors instead of wing mirrors. Happy memories, I drove about for weeks thinking the starting handle was for the jack,(jack handles were missing) luckily never got a puncture. Be sure to check out all the Lucas electricals before your drive back!
I can't wait for this.
I am looking forward to this build. This should be epic.
This is incredible can’t wait for the story to unfold
I used to have a 1972 range rover, hadn't been driven for 13 years before I got it. I sold it to a collector in Victoria...
Going back to your roots! You have come full circle, well done! Pity its not an old 40 series landcruiser but this one is yours and its personal. :-)
Love your passion for a classic
I still see a few of these Range Rovers being driven around here in Sydney from time to time . Some that I’ve seen have been in great condition.
Now thats an adventure
This is going to be great Andrew, so looking forward to your build on this.
Paul Marsh should be designated a national treasure
Finally. Congratulations. 👍🤘
Top what a find. All the best👍🍻
Proper Range Rovers !!!!!!!!
For a 4x4 channel, I never expected it to be so sentimental--and I mean that in a positive way. My heart fills up watching these.
The guy in SA is a legend!
Yes Andrew, you've drawn all us landrover Lovers in big time now 😮 what a stunning original example of the proper range rover!
This is going to be good. I can't wait until the videos start appearing.
You often see Land Rover defenders that have been resto-modded. I've always wondered why Andrew never went down that route. Get an old Land Rover (even a Range Rover) and then put in a Toyota engine.. maybe the same diesel V8 that is in his beloved Troopy. The Australian military has been putting Isuzu engines into their Land Rovers, I don't see how it could be any different.. and then you would have literally the perfect vehicle that you can be so proud of.. because you what you love from all the vehicles you've owned and you put it all together. Kind of like an "All Stars" expedition vehicle.
However, considering the shape that this range rover it would be a shame to do anything less than a full on proper original restoration. However, maybe it might not be a far off idea to think about doing the above to another range rover or Defender that is in good condition structurally, but needs a lot of mechanical work done to it.
Congratulations ! That's a gem you have it there !
Dual carburator V8, it's very thirsty
Brilliant!
My first reaction upon reading the title was precisely “you did whaaat?” 😂😂😂
Love it!
I thought this was two photos of you, one with a wig and a bad hangover and the other normal you. That second person is grizzly
Dude I could have told you this a year ago... Your little model of a Range Rover... Everybody knew this was coming
I knew it, the way he always spoke of his old Rangie and the model in his ofice.
It's here finally...
That is really great, I am impressed. Our first Land Rover was a v8 County Wagon, had it for 14 years.
Andrew that is so flipping awesome..... I can't wait
Madman. Also, Legend.
Loving this. The satisfaction of chasing a dream. Finally got my hands on a 105 and managed to get a 1HD FT into it. Ahhhh....
Omg this is going to be so much fun to watch!!!
That's a very good car. Your adventures are just great. I also try taking adventure videos on my channel and learn from you
Range Rover Classic , what else ?
I am happy to drive one, 515.000km today and hope go to 1000.000km !
Great videos Mr St. Pierre White. Your channel, and your videos I watched and rewatched plenty. Huge fan. Just wondering about your opinion abouit the Defender Hardtop. Seeing as the RRC is a nostagic purchase, which is no doubt upgradeable and probably - potentially a great overlander, what's your opinion of the Defender as a probable overlander option now that standard coil springs are a possibility and at the same time, the electronic compromises for modern urban living and safety tests etc ? Am personally waiting for the Grenadier but for the coin, it seems like there isn't anything really out there.. G professional being tad more expensive, grenadier being non-existent as yet and land cruiser seemingly more tech heavy too. Guess the only other would be Jeep, but you mentioned it not exactly built for overlanding? Gladiator wise ? Else what I thought of were the commercial offroaders like the Iveco daily /unimog. Not sure if this is a right picture, or perspective, would like to hear your piece. Always a pleasure hearing from you about Land Rovers and Land Cruisers. Stay amazing and stay healthy. Looking forward. Cheers.
Great work Andrew(and Paul) look forward to seeing the road trip back to Perth! The Nullarbor should be a good shakedown for it!👍😎
