Thanks for sharing this lovely heirloom. They get in in our blood and never leave, these old-timers. Nice to see you covering some classic camping innovations. I've also kept most of what we used back then, and today they're camping novelties that amaze people. Your Landy and I were born the same year, incidentally.
You clearly understand the Landy charm. Camping was simple and those innovations born out of necessity. I am glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Wonderful seeing the landrover. Currently rebuilding one from no basis. Finding and scraping all parts together. The body is similar to yours. Inspirational. Thank you. Love the camping gear. Johan Krugersdorp.
Stunning Landy! My first was a '77 Safari Station Wagon with Safariwindscreen. It had a 2.6 cylinder sidevalve straight six. It never let me down ever. I miss it profoundly. It ended u with 110 county seats and series3 R6 rims.
Luckily my Dad never sold it and now we have a duty to preserve it. The pickup to hardtop conversion is very common. That’s different to the Station wagon which is less flexible in this regard. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comments.
Only in a LAND ROVER it's a WAY OF LIFE. Both my diesel 88" series 1 and diesel series 2a 109 1965 are still running strong. They have never let me down, or left me stranded. Greetings from Florida and the USA.
What a legendary Rover ! I baught myself a Series 2 A that looks almost Identical its just a 1969 LWB with an 2.25 petrol engine ,He needs a bit of work bu I drive him every day and I am going to build myself a similar kitchen unit what a great Idea. Really love your channel Ijust discovered it 😃
Cheers from your sister-series 2A in Alaska. I thoroughly enjoyed your video, and really enjoyed that you kept the old Landy in the family. You have one of the farthest south Landy's and I have one of the farthest north's. I just inherited mine from an old friend that I've been running around in his for the past 42 years, so I can relate to keeping the tradition going. Still running like a top and I swear, if these old girls had a soul, they'd be happy to still be in the family. From the Sub-Arctic to the Sub-Saharan, best wishes 👍
What a great story. Thanks so much for sharing. Amazing where these old vehicles are all over the world. Would love to visit Alaska one day. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Thanks for the informative video.My Land Rover has a similar engine with yours but I haven't used mine a lot as I recently bought it.I would like to know what your experiences are with that engine.What you like about the 2.26 engine,its strengths and weaknesses.Thanks.Gabriel.
This 2.6l side valve engine is the evolution from the original 1.6 and 2l engine from the Series 1. It is super reliable and robust I will not change it because it is suitable for this vehicle. It is very smooth and has a lot of torque. Only complaint is that it needs to be tuned properly to run efficiently and the carb needs to be properly maintained. If not it will be slow and use more fuel but it will keep on going.
