Restoration of a Series IIA Land Rover 

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!

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.

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

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

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!

One can only aspire to come close to your restoration, truly great job!

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

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.

One of the best restorations I have ever seen. Fantastic job sir. I am contemplating the very same with my 15 yr old son. Truly inspirational.

Exquisite work with better attention to detail than an assembly line roller. Color is beyond beautiful.

beautiful, attention to detail is amazing have done this twice,to my 63 landy and i truly appreciate the time and love it takes to do this,truly a labour of love,and well done for passing on your knowledge and skills to the next generation,stunning job ATB Andy.

Now,that's a restoration.I've seen many other so called restos,but none come close.Part of me can't look,when I think of the running repairs to my series 3.Brilliant

Hi have only admiration for the work that has been put into this rebirth of an icon, not only was it a fantastic compilation of excellent still's, the music was a tour de force, I would just like to say well done to all who took part. regards Peter

Fantastic! Great music too. I'm a yank and love my M38A1 Jeep but would love to have a Landie as well. The Hurricane, Spitfire, and Land Rover; you guys saved the world with those machines!

Great job !! and a great way to learn the practical side of engineering.

A superb restoration and finished in my favourite Land Rover color, well done.

Awesome, thanks for documenting the rebuild. I have a series 3 that my wife and I plan on rebuilding. Very inspiring. Thanks again.

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

Job well done sir. Good to see, especially seeing another series rover being restored. Thank you very much for this presentation.

Beautiful work mate. I cry that I can't do it as well as you. I had a long wheel base 2A back in '73. Loved it.

Un trabajo perfecto. Me alegro de que haya gente que restaure estos vehículos. Espero que lo cuidéis y disfrutéis durante mucho tiempo.

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 ....

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

Very Impressive! Great job teaching your son and keeping him off the PlayStation.

Yes, quite stunning, I would like to own one exactly like your restored Land Rover. Thank you for your wonderful video.

Beautiful work - I hope you're proud of it. Thanks for sharing.

another haunting Hans Zimmer score..and another beautiful save of an icionic vehicle..Bravo!

Absolutely beautiful!! must have been so cool to do this with your kids! inspiring!

Excelent job, congratulations. It remember's me in 1990. I Have done something like this in a 109 S2A but with a much shorten budget.

What a gorgeous restoration and awesome thing for you and your son to do together. I hope that my siblings and I some day get the chance to do something similar to our blue one. Thank you!

That was awesome The satisfaction of finally getting it done must be amazing. Excellent.

Fantastic job. You must be over the moon. Congratulations !!

That is an amazing restoration. Absolutely beautiful!

AWESOME.The attention to detail is immense.Well done mate.Im a sucker for detail.Thanks for your upload.

G’day and greetings from Tasmania Australia, congratulations on a superb restoration she is a real credit to everyone involved regards John

Amazing. I'm going to embark on a project like this with my son, so It'll be ready for when he passes his test. Worth all the hard work, it looks brilliant. another Landy saved from the scrap heap. Well done.

Magnificent job, beautifully done!

Beautiful restoration, looks absolutely fantastic. 👍🏻👍🏻

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!

One of the most beautiful things I have set my eyes on... thanks a lot!

Sooo good! Well done lads, brings a tear to my eye.

great job on this land rover , just love it hope mine own would look like your's.

Oh my GOD! Its Beautiful. I had an LWB in 75. I would love to own a 2a station wagon in the same state as yours!

Stunning I can see absolute dedication skill and patience perfection!

Simply stunning...you both must be very proud, Think I would prefer the grill in galv finish, Must be so nice to drive.

Beautiful work and an inspiration and motivation for others to follow.

Thanks a lot. Magnificent vehicle. Great work. Learned a lot for my IIA, too.

Your video re boost my motivation to get mine done. Nice

Amazing restoration... engineered precision!

You see the word restoration dosen't just apply to polishing and n oil change, I mean come on ITS A complete 'tear down' and complete rebuild. Sir I have to take my hat off to you ! Such a beautiful beautiful dedicated job ! ! ! ! ! ! JUST BEAUTIFUL ! I reckon there have been quite a few nights in the garage ha ha

Better than new. To bad it was sold. I'm working on my IIA and learned a lot of tips from this video.

Holy shit mate attention to detail is just awesome well done dude you should be well proud of it ✌️✌️

Beautiful build. Love it.

WOW!!! LAND ROVER HEAVEN, GREAT JOB!

Simply wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

You lined up the screw heads wow ! Proper job fabulous

Superb, your skills shine through. I hope you are justifiably pleased with the results of your labours

Awesome, thats how i learnt to muck around with cars. My dad bought me a 50 dollar suzuki Jimny and we rebuilt the little f10a motor in it. Fantastic vehicle, but doesn't spend much time under 3000 rpm.

wow amazing work, well done guys.

Thanks for share, great job. Congratulations!!

Unbelievable build. Music is epic

Best Land Rover, excellent Job. well done. Love it//

Magnifique travail! Bravo!!!

Very well done, ,,,the video and restoration excellence.

wooooow....amazing work, i think i need to work on my series 3 as well :)

2nd time of watching and i am exercising my demons by rebuilding a 109 s3, it will be inspired by your rebuild, but a little less money and time spent . good work and thanks .

A thing of beauty. I'd rather have this than a new defender.

Wow that looks great !

It is all about the love. Well done.

Um trabalho lindo e bem feito, faz lembrar com saudades o meu pai, que era um apaixonado por land rovers, felizmente deixou me 1 séries 2A 109 e outro série 3 109. Que saudades que tenho desses momentos com ele nos jipes😭😭

Nice job, really enjoyed the vid. I've wanted one since I was a boy. Thanks

LA PERFECCIÓN NO TIENE LIMITES Y ESTE VIDEO LO DEMUESTRA AL PONER ESTA JOYA SOBRE RUEDAS EN LAS CALLES...

perfect job . Congratulations.

Vau!!!!! Bravo!!!! Good job!!! Well done

incredible, congratulations on your excellent work, greetings from Spain

Muy bueno, bello clásico vehículo Y muy bueno el fondo musical

Thats one gorgeous Series 2

beautiful job!

Brilliant ! watched every second !!!!

Amazing job

Amazing, my dream is to do the same thing myself one day! These cars are the best! Rolling around in my step fathers 2004 110 defender and i love it, but i would like to restore an old one just like you :)

Great Job !!

Nice work, lot of efforts put in, you did it your way not a rivet counter age appropriate way and I like it, it keeps a bit of personal touch, the cleanliness and attention to detail is bordering with OCD.

Perfetta, un esempio di ingegno!

It's beautiful!

Beautiful job. Nice to see I am not the only one that knows that right is right and the rest is rubbish LOL Mine you I was a Tool Maker which might have something to do with it. Just starting on mine if it is half as good I will be pleased. Well done Sir, Well done.

Una preciosidad..... Felicitaciones.

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.

The most beautiful car on the planet great job
