I bought a 1960 Land Rover Series 2, this is not only the worst driving experience I've ever had but it is somehow also the best! An extremely memorable moment for me on my journey as a car trader. A great bit of stock and very cool to say that I have finally owned an old 1960 Land Rover Series 2.

Out of all of the bad cars I’ve ever driven, this is definitely the best 🤣

@chrisplummer5857 2 года назад

Come on Calvin surely this needs to be your new daily driver 😆

@bigmatt2896 2 года назад

you know its begging for a v8 petrol engine conversion, drop it off at vrs and tell em to shove the engine from your m5 in it :) that would make it more fun lol

@statementleaver8095 2 года назад

Best Landy that money can buy!!!

@alangreenaway7363 2 года назад

Drop a BMW 3.0d twin turbo lump in it 😆

@lemar1398 2 года назад

Do you do special deals for your subscribers?

@awalk5177 2 года назад

There are plenty of people who have a very different view about Land Rovers. They are not meant to be fast or comfortable, they are meant to go where other cars can't go in really bad conditions, and they do. These are going up in value, whereas the cars you like are going down in value. You can take dirty dogs in the muddy countryside and afterwards just hose it out. They are a tool for a specific purpose.

@somebloke5565 5 месяцев назад

And the sort of bloke that trots out this blow-hard nonsense calls it a workhorse, has facial-hair and never does any of that more than once in blue. You'll never see his on the road outside of August.

@calsurflance5598 5 месяцев назад

Amen! They are perfect!

@alexanddebs 2 года назад

Do you know what you have there Calvin? There are really rare! Huge followings!!! Worth loads and loads! Don’t be dissing a Landy,your better than that! Not fast but what an icon!!!!!!!!!

@noaerrr 2 года назад

The cheapest ones are around 6k, they aren’t that rare (in the UK at least) I see them quite often. I love them though, probably my number 1 favourite car

@RajKhan-rv7qr 2 года назад

Can’t really call it a banger and if it holds value the way these sort of cars do. You are not a classic car person to appreciate this beauty.

@jamesg1769 2 года назад

Well said, that car would be more reliable and easier to fix than half of his modern stock

@Honky_Konky_Phooey 2 года назад

That Land Rover is far better than some of the bangers you have bought, these REALLY hold their money compared to some of the shitty 4x4 that are about today.👍🇬🇧

@nickb5391 2 года назад

totally agree

@michaelarcher6278 2 года назад

Calvin, don't change anything on that Landi. A potential gold mine. As you said, it's worth a lot ! Rapidly become a collector's must have. Prices will only go one way.

@maverick4177 2 года назад

That’s worth a lot more than it looks! Tax and mot exempt, historic vehicle insurance, perfectly useable in many place still Good old Landy that 👍🏻

@PixelVogue 2 года назад

LMAO Calvin granny shifting instead of double clutching like you should 🤣🤣

@ivehadenough3030 2 года назад

You only have to double de-clutch for gear 1-2 because 3 and 4 have synchromesh.

@nigeltrump6443 2 года назад

That bad boy will pull all your cars out of a ditch all day.. a classic 👌

@number8485 2 года назад

This is one of Land Rovers more amazing productions and is worth a nut and bolt restoration. I drove a number of series 2's in Western Queensland during a drought in 1966. It never let me down in the outback and when the rains eventually arrived it could handle a foot of mud on yellow in second gear for most of the day and once saved my life.

@noaerrr 2 года назад

Wow

@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501 2 года назад

What an absolutely stunning classic.

@simonhannaford1311 2 года назад

Absolutely loved this video hilarious and the expressions on Calvins face

@Rynodinio 2 года назад

This is the coolest thing you've had on the channel, please tidy it up, could do a series on chasing parts etc

@stevenmoran4060 2 года назад

You had just discovered where the name wing mirror came from. The indicators are the white switch lower right side of the dash panel

@LittlePK7 2 года назад

Calvins editing has leveled up

@wts.9 2 года назад

I think this is the first time I’ve seen Calv get excited about going 44mph 😂😂

@craigj2483 2 года назад

Banger !! that Landy is and will always be more reliable than anything you have in stock, value will always increase where as every modern motor you have will go down in value.

@foo4572 2 года назад

Doesn’t look a bad old thing and best suited for a farm track … I bought one a few years back and it certainly had character.. only started when it wanted to and not the most comfortable but fun to drive now and again … obviously you’ve done a good deal on it so FairPlay

@jackwatson5400 2 года назад

This is the most fun you’ve had in a car this year can tell by the laughs and smiles. Don’t do a thing to it just give it a wash and a general tidy up in places maybe a bit of a polish and off to classic car auctions

@synclap 2 года назад

Amazing video ! Well done , one of the best videos you’ve done.

@faulkie666 2 года назад

love these videos. well done calvin!

@pandame01 2 года назад

Your video was brilliant 😆we've got a series 2a 1971 truck cab land rover that we rebuilt and it does up to 70mph and it's taken us to the outer Hebrides, Shetland and everywhere else and wouldn't be without it. By the way my other half (Robbie Chapman's brother) went to school with your brother aaron😁

@davidtrice8307 2 года назад

Love these land rovers I remember my grandad had one on his farm in 70s definitely keep it Calvin as prices are going up no way u can break speed limit in this 😂😂

@paulharris2622 2 года назад

Put a massive smile on my face watching this video Calvin ….cracking Old Land Rover ….. secretly the BEST you have driven I bet 👌👌🤣🤣🤣

@exploremore2871 2 года назад

Probably the best car you've bought yet!

@nickb5391 2 года назад

it's not a car, it isa an off road vehicle

@greggferns3278 2 года назад

Correct

@andypreston1524 2 года назад

Keep that old Landy and Cherish it. Ignore the top speed and enjoy the simplicity of it. I would rather have this on my drive than any modern over-complicated car, and any of Land Rover's current lifestyle vehicles........

@elizabethmbabazi2265 2 года назад

Wow! "Lifestyle Vehicles". Not car anymore, an existential statement. The wankery has gone too far.

@grogheaton8833 2 года назад

I think the indicators would be the white toggle switch on the dash. The knob with the toothed adjuster is a governor to increase the engine speed when driving equipment off a PTO. It looks like it's on the larger LWB wheels which would make the speedo read under, so it's probably near its max speed of 50-55mph at an indicated 45. There is a reason the wing mirrors are called wing mirrors... they were originally on the wings. No blind spots in the mirrors if you can see anything through the vibrations, but a two-person operation to adjust them. The ignition switch would have originally been on the dash with a separate starter button where the key goes now.

@Bzrking_hound 2 года назад

Love this classic Landrover, worth quite a bit this is 👌

@bernard.8355 2 года назад

Loved this video, more weird cars Calvin! You could consider taking a test drive in an old vintage tractor and then a big modern tractor to see the differences. It would make for a funny video

@Kyran31 2 года назад

One of my favourite videos you’ve done this, love it 😂 keep em coming calv

@scalecrawlnl 2 года назад

Absolutely fantastic, rolling babe magnet, thank you Calvin, the best 40 mph ever, great fun. And worth a few quid, now and in the future!

@chrisdowse6714 2 года назад

So it bad that I think this is one of the best videos you’ve done in a long time !! Proper class !!

@grahamjackson2284 2 года назад

Thanks Calv best laugh I've had for ages ,love the Landy too that's "double de-clutch" as the old man used to say. Brilliant !!!!

@TheAgwarn 2 года назад

That Landy is in fantastic original condition and worth strong money 👍🏼

@dannymayfield7052 2 года назад

This is literally the funniest video I’ve watched to date, your facial expressions are comical 🤣, keep up the good work calv always enjoy watching your channel 🤙🏻

@adeykitch1819 2 года назад

Think I enjoyed watching you drive that more than the R8 or anything else Calv, the look on your face mate absolutely brilliant 😄

@inspireaspire278 2 года назад

Congrats. A thing of beauty is a joy for ever. Land Rover is Britain's pride.

@e46spartan75 2 года назад

That’s actually hilarious you got offered that in px against an S5! Bet Jerome was like wtf when buyer mentioned about it 😂

@benevans3733 2 года назад

Another brilliant video again as always and hope you are all staying safe and well

@tramlad2 2 года назад

Calvin that will fly out of the yard, they are very collectable vehicles

@joecole6875 7 месяцев назад

Great to see you getting a bit of culture, Cal! Good for you!

@pauldurnan1522 Год назад

absolutely creased 🤣🤣🤣🤣 well done calvs👏 great video as always man 👍

@johnthompson7611 2 года назад

Cheers Calv, you ain't lost your touch in driving the unusual....gearbox challenge!!! You made my day yesterday with this clip. Keep peppering your content with these videos...You will have to let us know roughly what this piece of motoring brought...

@shaneunknowndoesyoutube3869 2 года назад

Quite exited now you have uploaded calv!

@davidallen513 2 года назад

Hilarious video. Best yet so far. More like this. Your face mate throughout. Proper funny 😄

@lascm5237 2 года назад

Great review - guaranteed that old Landy will definitely outlive anything else currently on your lot 😁

@stevenofford495 2 года назад

My junior school headmaster had one in the 1970s. He used to sometimes give me a lift home in it. To change from 4WD to 2 he had to crawl underneath and hit something metal repeatedly with a wrench. I loved it and always wanted one. The tattier the better!

@dale11111 2 года назад

Yea Calvin another epic vid and I can see that new Land Rover is going to become ur daily 😂😂 anyways take care peace from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@ruk2023-- 2 года назад

I'd reckon on the mileage being genuine. 1200 miles a year is a fair amount for a farm truck.

@michaelakachunk 2 года назад

A Friend of mine has had loads of these old land Rovers, they're always in my way up my unit so I've also had the displeasure of driving them from time to time haha! The V8 petrol ones do sound and smell great though!

@simonnelson7770 2 года назад

Loved it, I've got a 1970 one and it's almost exactly the same. Great old cars. Might be selling mine soon if you're interested 🤔

@johnbailey6342 2 года назад

This is gold Calvin 😂

@limyrob1383 2 года назад

The "wing mirrors" are on the "wings" where they originated, and got their name. OK you can't see anything, but they are in their true home.

@christopherdouglas732 2 года назад

🤣🤣one off your best videos I have seen , you was like a 90's teenager taking a car for a joyride , didn't have a clue, just went with the flow and went as fast as he can , 🤣 ,no thoughts on how he was stopping

@kevwhufc8640 Год назад

I do like the old defenders , I can't remember the last time I saw a series 2 on the road, and I live in the sticks . Prices have sky rocketed since I last had one. Tough old motors .

@rubyronniebob 2 года назад

These old Landys are a sound investment, you only have to double the cluch i 2nd gear 👍

@mattluszczak8095 2 года назад

and first...

@danarbin6486 2 года назад

🤣🤣 one of ya best videos of late mate, proper funny!

@jamesr8897 2 года назад

You should get your boy out in this one, I bet he would love it

@jamieeedden777 2 года назад

Always loved a landrover the 110 defender I learned to drive in that belonged to my step dad had series 2 doors in great for the summer the tops of the doors just slot of even tho I learned to drive in a landrover I ended up taking my test in an automatic no desire what so ever to drive a manual

@deanmcdonnell6381 2 года назад

Haha what a drive calvin 🤣 absolutely brilliant one of the funniest iv see on your channel 😄 loved it worth a wee mint I tell you !! Keep a hold of it the engine sounds 👌💯.

@hiskyboy8971 2 года назад

looooooooooooool going down that lane loved it you was tested there calv

@robertpewsey8931 2 года назад

Look after it. If the chassis OK you've got a nice one, nearly 60 years old so treat it with respect. Your old Audi will be long gone to the scrap yard, and that landy will still be around. I have one the same, it's worth more than my pension.

@dublinbikereire 2 года назад

Haha best test drive video yet 😂😂🔥

@nathanpye167 2 года назад

Your face says it all so funny watching you pass the other cars in the lane! Man looked shook lol

@mb8804 2 года назад

What a wonderful example, please dont touch or change anything about this car. On the face of it, it seems to be an honest and straight example with very few if any "modifications " pretty rare where land rovers are concerned. Its value and character lays in its current condition. The good news is 2nd, third and forth gears have syncro, you only have to double de-cluctch between 1st and 2nd.

@reynolds2638 2 года назад

That land rover is a gold mine

@Remote-Origin 2 года назад

Just hear the excitement in your voice - laughing with the joy of the Land Rover!

@grahammckenna6162 2 года назад

best video you have done , hilarious , back to basics driving , i was in hysterics.

@johnthompson7611 2 года назад

And then there was the Black Cab I forgot to mention....at least we all know you don't take yourself too seriously and put yourself out there....keep your content flowing

@nickb5391 2 года назад

@13.50, you've finally admitted it then 'this is a proper Land Rover'

@faustinaadu2284 2 года назад

I think you should get the bodywork sorted IMO. I think it would make good money and it would make the car look excellent

@InvertDesigning 2 года назад

Thos video and your face expresions just made my day😅😅😅

@merykjenkins3274 2 года назад

A sneaky 5 quid on Calvin keeping it. One drive is all it takes to become hooked.

@JesseCollingham 2 года назад

@alexmckinney7588 2 года назад

That’s what proper driving used to be like before power steering, servo assisted brakes, and automatic chokes etc etc! Lol 😂 great content Calvin mate 👍

@nazu5998 2 года назад

Classic Landy, worth restoring and keeping

@kanedavenport8419 2 года назад

Calv, you should get the land rover into storage, it'll be worth mega money in another 10 years or so, The variety of content recently is top notch, Keep ONIT Calv👌🏼👍🏻

@paddykelly9226 2 года назад

Yu don't leave it sitting outside like that Mitsubishi gto

@nathantaylor7619 2 года назад

"Worth mega money in 10 years time" Probably not. General concensus in the classic car world is prices will crash in line with the phasing out of petrol and diesel fuel. In 10 years time fuel may well still be around but maybe not widely and convinently available and could be expensive.

@joshs9227 2 года назад

This series 2 is my dream car, I grew up on my grandads farm and he had one in the same green. Sadly rusted out and no longer exists, so many happy memories with it I’ve been saving up for one for nearly 2 years now!!

@jcharlesbayliss 2 года назад

Oh mate this is my favourite one yet, the look on your face, what a picture

@tangoengineering 2 года назад

@richardlennie8678 2 года назад

Hi Calv this was the funniest thing I've watched today and I think we can safely say this doesn't have your name written all over it !!! lol

@dazad1972 2 года назад

i do wish people would stop calling old landrovers bangers. compared to a modern car they are very very very basic and rough round the edges, but please remember it was never ever meant to be plush. it was meant to carry farmers and their gear from field to field it is a working vehicle.

@TheClassifiedMan 2 года назад

Nice one for not wanting to kill the dog mate😂😂😂😂

@BRB134 2 года назад

Welcome to the land rover series club. I have a 1965 land rover series 2A peyed £5,000 for it about a year and I am still working on her. They are worth a lot of money and they just keep on going up in value.
