  • For my eldest Son who was studying engineering at school in 2010. It kept him off his PlayStation for a while, he learned how to turn a spanner and much more besides. Disciplines acquired such as riveting painting and electrics were among the many. Buy the story by following the link below.

    Wow. If I ever want to see a Concours example of my old 2a then I need go no further. Truly stunning

    What a great experience to share between father and son. The car is one thing, but that time spent together is the biggest reward. My father took the time to teach me his trade, I went on to become qualified in my own business and enjoy playing with car's to this day....Respect!

    Stunning. Shame Land Rover is churning out plastic junk nowadays. I can’t see the new ones lasting this long!

    THANK YOU! You brought a lot of good memories, I bought one 1974 in Colorado, USA, just like this one, same color, with safari roof. It was underpowered, but fun. Since then, I had a 1999 Disco II, a 2009 Range Rover sport HSE and now I drive a very civilized Disco 4 HSE LUX. Soon to be replaced by a new Grenadier.

    An absolutely stunning restoration with practical upgrades to make her usable in everyday life. I love the interior and the elephant grey colour of the panels compliment the green and limestone. The attention to detail in the insulating on the tropical roof and in the back body and all the riveting is great to see. A complete proper job, well done from another Land Rover fan

    that is what you call a real do , none your wheeler dealer rubbish . a real pleasure to see someone who obviously has a great deal of skill . if i have the dosh i would have it in a flash . i drove one of these doing a milk round many years , i was hooked i did a series 3 body off ect but never the detail you did ( i did it outside ) . i enjoyed every minute of this production . very well done .

    Got to be one of the best around. The most important thing you kept it original and didn't change anything vital to it's historic design. well done.

    That's perfect job . It's a long time restoration, but it has a really great result . I have this Land Rover serie too, but the wheelbase is 110 inch . Thanks for inspiring Me, You so awesome ....

    As someone presently restoring a 1952 series can I say congratulations on a wonderful restoration.Its a total credit to all the obviously hard and detailed work that's gone into it.Hope you have many years of enjoyment from it

    • @contesa32
      @contesa32  ปีที่แล้ว

      This was a project to give my son some engineering experience. Unfortunately we sold it immediately after. It was an expensive luxury for me to keep and to use it would have de-valued it enormously.

  • @ronitsingh85
    @ronitsingh85 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    talk about a restoration that will take this landy into the 20nd century with ease. Defiantly something to be proud off, a lot of hard work, most defiantly but so so rewarding. To think about all those genuine parts that are inside and hidden from pain view but helping every bit out with the smooth mechanical operation!

  • @funkynuts90

    Rover; you guys saved the world with those machines!

  • @annabellalawrence12
    @annabellalawrence12 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow that was a amazing job of restoring this landrover, i know what hard work and skill it takes to do a build like this, my father was a enginier, he was a draughts man, on contract and worked for BOE and major airlines, mending aeroplanes and he was a toll maker as well, there was nothing he couldnt make or rework, i take my hat off to you and your son, fantastic job done, that land rover will be round for another 40yrs

    Brings back memories I learn to drive on one just like yours with the (Safari roof ) we call it here in Portugal I was only 14 came from Africa wen we left the Colonies.I Think it was older because of the rods on the steering wheel.You and your boys did a great job thanks for the video

  • @rossjackson7134

    I bought a wreck of a 1968 series 2a Safari a few days ago, so I will start on my quest to renovate her, find the Holy 1st handbook of the first one built and she will explore under the stars forever! I have no workshop anymore, not even a bench only a field to work in! Going to make lifting the engine out fun!

    • @contesa32
      @contesa32  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Strip the whole thing down so all you have is a chassis standing on blocks with the engine supported.. Than get a pal to help you lift the chassis off the engine. A block and tackle with an A frame would be handy though. Good Luck.

    BEAUTIFUL! Just... a perfect restoration, the good roof, the good rear door (I don't like the Spanish one 😁) the perfect color, (I mean, it's a Land Rover so... this green is "the color") perfect tires and of course white (I see a lot of black ones these days and think... No no noooo 😆) I really like this 4x4 without roof for the summer so may be need some modification to the interior of the doors (and the rear small one) to be even better but is the best and good looking restoration I see, congratulations 👋, some day I'll got one like this and restore it almost identically, I see a lot of vids and pictures and imagine things to do in a series (2A preferred) and yours is the best dude 👍 thanks for the video, regards from Bolivia.

    Great photos. You really captured the essence of what it is to thoroughly restore something like that.
    I really enjoyed that a lot. Now I need a Barber jacket and green wellies so I can watch that video again in proper attire.
    What on earth were those port-hole-like things in the roof and why did the roof look like it had two layers with about an inch between them?
