Best of luck with expanding your business. Best of luck also with hiring the very best people to continue keeping the Land Rover vehicles of the past in better than new condition going into the future.

Great job. Fantastic job. Hard to fault. Looks like A/C pulley alignment not perfect. The rest of it perfect(apart from rust on the head of NSF spring shackle bolt 18:20) But I am being a pedant..... You make it look easy. i know how much work goes in to jobs like this, not just the work but the previous experience that you apply and the work that has gone in to acquiring that experience.
Hi there from New Zealand. I am restoring a 1969 series 2a pickup. I watch all of your videos, and they have been an inspiration to my project. Regards Neill
Neil, my fellow countryman. I've restored my 1970 (resto-mod actually) and a 1950 for a workplace. Next is my '56. What part of our beautiful country are you? P.s these videos are great aye. I would apply, but we are a bit far away aye mate.
Beautiful attention to detail. A question I have though; I understand most of your restorations are built to order, but why do so few (if any) vehicles retain their original hard roofs? And what do you do with all the hard tops you remove? To me, the hard roof is half of the character of the vehicle and certainly makes my S2A more usable.
Beautiful restoration! I'm doing a frame-off on my Marine Blue UK market '83 Series III 88" SW. Converting my 5mb 2.25L diesel into a 2.5L petrol (a la Richard Hall) with the Holley Sniper. This is a really great video of the end-to-end. I'd love to use an Ashcroft R380--any tips and tricks would be really appreciated! Well done! ~Pete
Nice vlog. I have the series 3 Landy, gift from my grandpa. After doing inspection, there's some part i have to fix especially the brake system. Pls anybody can share here, what's good and bad this booster brake system install on landy to replace the old system brake? For landy series version. Thanks.
The work you do on these Land Rovers appears to my eyes to be of a higher standard, a higher quality than any other Land Rover restorer known to me. Thanks for keeping the memory of these old Land Rovers still going strong! Someday, someday! Andy McKane, Manualoa, Molokai, Hawaii.
Funny you mention the spare wheel/tyre on the bonnet. I always took time to remove them and store in the back when driving during my military service. Others hated me doing it but the extra visibility was well worth the effort. Even in 1991 while in Iraq and Kuwait I did it. RHIP you know.
That was a labour of love. A very nice none military spec SWB Land Rover, I've driven dozens while in the army and love them. Shame it's a "wrong hand drive" and not right. I'd buy one otherwise. I wonder if you do Forward Controls?
Beautiful! I love the color. My sister had one and now it's sitting and waiting for full restoration, since she passed at age 42. I would love to be able to restore it an drive my kids around town in it, as a tribute to Aunt Monica.
Gorgeous. I wish I were wealthy enough to order one of my own like this. I mean that sincerely, NAO does amazing builds and they earn the price charged.
Hey Mike, great video and a even better build! I love your work. Can you go into detail with your 5 speed transmission fitting? I would love to replicate that in my personal vehicle. Greetings from Germany!
