Land Rovers are not meant to overtake. The beauty of owning a Land Rover is knowing the traffic jam is behind you. Cheers

Beautiful work, and congratulations on being a true environmentally conscious company, repowering old cars for further use!

Having owned four series landrovers i like your work very much. I sold my last one in 2005 and have never had one since as i was becomig fatiqued whilst driving them and my wife could hardly turn the steering wheel!! I used them as daily drivers and I found them reliable, comfortable and beautiful to look at. I will visit your website. Many congratulations on your projects.

Beautifully shot video. Keep up the great work guys

Aesthetically they've got that absolutely spot on for the classic look. Inmho.
Just the right blend of Series 2 and 3, with the Defender axles.

In Australia we used to takemout the four cylinder and fit a six cylinder holden motor. It transformed the landy.

I love all you Landy Nutcases's comments..

Wish we could all meet up somewhere for a cold one and tell stories around a big campfire under African skies...

Long live the Green Oval...
Sorry, I'm not a new Pretender fan...

The vehicle is superb, but the stolen name pissed me off...

Very nice looking Landy. Love it, and the modifications is "under cover" not visible to anyone other than Landy purists...
Well done..

Will never do it to my 1960 Series 2 SWB, but the thought is good.

Think that's the way to go with the old 1957 CSW 107"...🤔🤔🤔


Nice video, nice office, everything nice..

Enjoy, and show us more.... 🇿🇦🇿🇦

I’m on my second series Landy. The first is still tearing around giving loyal service to a lucky mate. I did a complete restoration on the second. There’s nothing like a Landy for joyful motoring and character.

Nicely done, lots of improvements in every area of the vehicle, the powertrain/gearbox choice is spot on, easy to service and get replacement parts for not allot of money and here in Canada i have seen lots of those 2.5 ford engines go for 250k kilometres and are efficient engines and our climate is far harder on them than most countries, I use to work for a dealer back in the late 80's, we handled Volvo, Jaguar and Land Rover and i even got to see a handful of right hand drives, the poor owners in the winter over here must of froze their butts off in them, i know they didn't have great heaters in them unless you drove newer models, any of them didn't like our -30 or -35 weather, most people don't, I'd like to see one of these when i get over to the UK to a cousins wedding in 2025, I'll look up your business when i am there 👍

[mickbaker]

I tack my hat off to you Mr Sam Greenwood you have done what land rover should of done years ago and would still be a British owned and built company, I like how you have kept the originality of the series it looks absolutely fantastic but I only have one question what's it like off road?

[austendallaston]

I love landies, ive had many and this is a beauty, but with all the mod cons is it really still a classic? Im really torn in two directions.

[PaulKemp-bj]

Just Brillant love the Land Rover looks amazing

[jamesbrack]

Great video and a stunning car. Now this is a resto mod!!

[stevezodiac]

You're right, I didn't guess! Lovely job!!

[sofalugger]

Can remember 20+ yrs ago a chap in our locality had a 6+ Litre Detroit V8 Diesel ... Very good conversion too..Lotsa Torks...

[winstoncely]

Love the production quality of the video and, damn, I wish I had money and lived in England, because I would buy one without a second thought.

[benzacaroli]

Phenomenal work. Keep em' coming!

[andrewbelfield]

It's okay, DVLA say that you can carry out mods that were done during or within ten years of end of production of a model so coil axles are okay, they also say you can carry out mods that make the vehicle safer so disc brakes and power steering are okay and anything to improve environmental performance so a modern engine and five speed gearbox are also acceptable

[Tubecraft]

how are the wheels not outside the body line with defender axles under it ? i notice the wheels are a slightly different offset if Im not mistaken
