Video

I can't recall if i asked you this on another video but I have just purchased a 1953 80" (2lt) and will likely be doing up to keep. My question is what drive train are you running re motor , gearbox (standard, overdrive or reconfigured gearing?) and diffs allowing for better cruising speed and power (by degrees 😆) for light off-road? thanks again and looking forward to some updates when time permits and schedule allows.

From 1974 to 1984 when I first saw the Defender 110 replacing them Ghana

Finally a series one driven properly

boy I would have pissed many times in my pants going over those courses, wow! great work you guys. I am falling in love with the series 1 rover, it was the defender at first and then quickly the series 3 and now the series 1 is my fav. simple, shorter, very narrow body trim which gives it the most utilitarian look out of the rest of the series and defender.

One of the few things that are truly a source of pride in British manufacturing. A gorgeous car still doing its thing and showing young pups how it’s done. Beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Daddy must have plenty money.

Excelente

Fantastic update, please keep them coming

Looking good and sounding good. Hope to get mine started soon

Hooray!!! The first launch has taken place! Why don't you paint the wheels the same color as the body? Who is this gray-haired man who helped you!?

Well done mate! Looking good. The motor sounds sweet too and sweeter soon after a tickle up. I hope the wheels and tyres look as good. Cheers. 👍🏻🙏🦘

Looking good 👍👍👍 Get an SU carb on it. Much nicer. Is that an electronic distributor? Makes a world of difference ❤

Hello friend.. I congratulate you on a beautiful project... which part of the world are you from?.. I am also in the process of restoring my LR series 3... I am writing to exchange ideas... and some questions that I have... about some spare parts... greetings... from America... I await your response... yes Do you have any other social network to exchange photos ..

Ben! Why didn't you do anti-corrosion under the car?

Ben hi! Good job, glad you're working on the car!!!

Looks fantastic, keep on keeping on

Slow and steady mate. You did a great job on the tub too! 👍🏻🙏🦘

Coming along nicely Ben

Top work Ben

Good work 👍👍👍

Stunning trip with some lovely series I's and some stunning camera work too. Great work.

If you run into trouble with the servo try a "90" one.

Just finding these vids dropping in to my CZcams box. Great work on the S1. It’s good to see young LR enthusiasts continuing to maintain the vehicles. 👍🏻🙏🦘

The trailer has not been seen in 2 years! 🙈😂👍🏻🙏🦘

Come to Australia and you can drive my 2002 auto Discovery all over. 👍🏻🙏🦘

Hi Ben. About the sump bolts. Any good specialised bolt shop could supply the bolts if you take in the original one. For future vids could you keep the music a bit lower please or preferably have none. Good call on not swapping the tyres. Lol. Love your work. Cheers. 👍🏻🙏🦘 P.S. How did you fit into your jeans? 🤔🙈💪

You may not want to use that military fan? They are heavy and there could be clearance issues. They also take more power to turn.

Put your collar down

Nice video - keep it up! Probably too late to save you messing with the top bearing on the steering column, but you'll find that the play evaporates when you do final assembly. The bearings are a crap design and the new ones are poorly made (they tend to distort when you drive them in to the column), but the play in it will go when you torque up the steering wheel nut.

Very enjoyable. Subbed.

Much prefer seeing these driveway builds. I'm going to catchup on episodes 1-3 and look forward to seeing how the 2a build progresses - keep up the great work.

Probably a bit late to mention it now but euro car parts sell normfest spray cans. They spray better than any other aerosol paint I have found and cover realy well. All the notmfest spray paints and grease are excellent value. The electric contact cleaner is also good at its job on old ecectrics If you ask I’m sure they will give trade discounts but also online ordering is normally good prices.

I’m always keen to see your progress, home built on a modest budget makes a perfect counterpoint to Retropower restomods. Stick with it, you inspire me with mine

Great vid! Are there generally more lanes open to vehicles in Wales than in England or Scotland?

Great Video!, can I get the name of the first song??

Brilliant job, been a pleasure to do the bulkhead, can’t wait to see it progress.

Nice work Ben. Looking good.

Nice one 😎😎

Fatastic effort Ben, awaits further updates

Good job, Ben! Keep up the good work!

Looks like the most fun ! A S1 in beautiful North Wales , I have a 1955 & am going to follow suit . Thanks for the inspiration. Garie

My dad also has a series one, and I too are looking at an 88" SII to resto-mod into my own legacy. Great work Ben!

Cool wheels x

Good green-laning but we have to reject that small replacement steering wheel which must be in conjunction with fitting a power steering unit. Takes all the originality out of the Series 1 driving experience.

Looking good well done

Is this the 2nd Landy in your family? This will be your car right now!?

1:36 The car of our USSR team!!!

Well done guys for getting out for a walk! Would love to see more videos! Another very interesting 1 series pick up. This is generally a rare Landy.

Great video, really well produced

Simply awesome 👌
