Range Rover Classic 50 years tribute by Land Rover Drive

[@LandRoverDrive]

Okay, who’s wants a Range Rover Classic after watching this?🤙😁

[@federicoacker5672]

I´m sure many people! but please slow down a little bit with the videos, you´e causing the prices go up! LRD: Congratulations! Owning and Using a Range Rover "Classic" as it should be. Cheers!

[@DINBINPLAYS]

I'm getting a Range Rover classic as my first car. 1975 suffix D V8. She needs some work but it'll be worth it.

[@robro911]

OK who doesn't want a Range rover Classic now ?!!

[@LandRoverDrive]

@@robro911 Hehe, I know I want one... 😀 Or two..

[@LandRoverDrive]

@@DINBINPLAYS Holy cow, what a great first car to have! Lucky guy and congrats! I hope you will get many great miles/km out of it. Best, Simon

[@GoncaloLuis89]

I think that this is the best showcase of the car on the internet. I find myself coming back here from time to time to get my fix. Thank you.

[@LandRoverDrive]

Thank you! 😊 That's a great compliment. I have some more RRC filmed and will be out after next year, a bit of a backlog on the editing. 😅 But some nice off-road videos the RRC if you check out the older Overlanding in Norway videos on the channel, and this video with the video coming after it is also some nice RRC clips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ-bmWekbbaDrpI Thanks again and let me know what you would like to see more of. 😉 Best, Simon

[@jdenmark1287]

It came out the same year I was born. I remember the first time I saw a Range Rover in person. It was owned by the father of a childhood friend, and even at that age, I was amazed by the engineering, it was so unlike anything else, an instant classic, an iconic kinetic sculpture.

[@LandRoverDrive]

A good year then. 😉 A icon from the start. I feel so lucky that I can go out filming this beauty. I hope I get to film many more classic’s in the years to come. 👍😁 Maybe should get my own. 😅

[@1malikalik]

Awesome Rovers and breathtakingly gorgeous scenery. Greetings from USA 🇺🇸

[@LandRoverDrive]

Thanks Malik, and I couldn’t agree more. 😊😊 Gotta love the classic. 👌 Best from Norway! Simon

[@brianredmond4919]

Art and engineering meet. Amazing how they made that big boxy shape look so elegant.

[@LandRoverDrive]

It's strange isn't it, a elegant box that still can outperform most of the modern SUV's. Wish they would make a modern version of the classic, in terms of safety. 👌😊

[@brianredmond4919]

@@LandRoverDrive one of the joys of the classic is that you sit relatively high compared to the dash which gives a great driving position and all round visibility but is probably not a great idea in a crash.

[@LandRoverDrive]

@@brianredmond4919 Same thing I love about my Discovery 3, you can see all the corners of the car from the drivers seat. 👌

[@williamprobert5124]

It’s not until you start using them what they’re built for do you realise how good they are. Great video

[@LandRoverDrive]

So so true, and the Range Rover Classic still surprices me when we go out. Epic car design, from the bottom up. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Simon.

[@robertdrum6857]

Happy birthday Range Rover🍾🎉What a great tribute to the 50’th anniversery of one of the most famous car icons in history. The first prize goes to you Simon👏🏻🙏🏻😎

[@LandRoverDrive]

Thank you so much Robert! 👍😁 Fun to film and edit. But wouldn’t have been much without Erik and his RRC rebuild. 👍😁 I’m so glad that we can go overlanding and off-roading together. 😁

[@toberwine]

My Dad has had his 72 from new, I only came along in 73. It was a great family vehicle when we were kids!

[@LandRoverDrive]

72, does he still have it? I grew up with an old MB 300 diesel so not so lucky.

[@jdenmark1287]

As usual, thank you for taking us along through your beautiful countryside.

[@LandRoverDrive]

Hey and thank you so much! Glad that I could help raise your Range Rover spirit even more. 🤙😊 Simon

[@billsinclair6515]

what a superb video, love how you switch seasons and capture the V8 burble. Magical vehicles, owned a 3.5 and two 3.9s over the years and have a Vogue SE under refurb at a local garage. These cars are worth the fuel bill

[@LandRoverDrive]

Glad you enjoyed it and great to hear! 😀 More RRC in the latest trip episode released. The RRC is something special and like you I think they are worth it. I hope to get a 1985 classic for my 40th birthday in three years. Would be the perfect gift to my self. 😀 Good luck with the refurb, I hope it turns out great and you get many miles out of it. Best, Simon.

[@philhawley1219]

When I went to work in Oman the first thing I did was to buy a 1978 RR. I paid the equivalent of £850 for it . I was only ever towed out of a problem once. That was due to 4 feet of water in a desert wadi getting on the spark plugs. And there were brown vipers swimming in the water. It was simply a fantastic vehicle. Today I drive a 1995 Discovery 300, these are the epitome of the best four wheel drives ever made. I know this will upset the Toyota fans ,I have pulled out a few of those when they were stuck but I have never had any model of Land Rover ( I have owned seven different examples) ever towed by a Japanese or American 4x4.

[@LandRoverDrive]

Great story and thanks for sharing Phil. Lovely set of rovers, a classic and the 300 disco. I like both really well and if I could afford it and had the room I would get a classic and a early model Discovery. 😅😅 Getting stuck is part of the fun and if you don’t get stuck at some point you are not having enough fun. 😊 Toyota fans are just as crazy as Land Rover fans, and that what I love about overlanding and off-roading, it get the same crazy people together no matter the car or brand. 👍😊

[@mariarossi2111]

What a beautiful car! Sold my 1980 3.5 V8 in 2008 because it was expensive to run and in Italy I had very few opportunity to drive it off road, but I miss it.

[@LandRoverDrive]

Thanks for sharing! I think everyone that sell one will miss it no mather what. 😀 But never to late to own one again, although they are getting expencive. Best, Simon

[@sanatandharma4435]

My favourite vehicle of all time! Don't get me wrong I love Defenders too, but the Classic is so beautiful, unfussy, so capable and well, so right! Thankyou for this excellent video.

[@LandRoverDrive]

Right on! The RRC is a classic for a reason. 😀 Glad you enjoyed the video and there is much more on the channel. 😊 Best, Simon

[@stcalles]

As always great classic vehicles, great selection of music, great scenery, I want to go visit Norway. The department of tourism of Norway should pay you for the great promotion or at least give you an award.

[@LandRoverDrive]

Many many thanks! I wish they would pay for it. Would be an awesome job traveling and documenting. Maybe in the future. 🤞 For now I will continue to make more overlanding goodness.

[@RockbasherV8]

A truly extraordinary machine in the right hands

[@LandRoverDrive]

Very true, one of the best production 4x4 ever.

[@WizzardPrang]

Great to see them being driven and getting muddy, not like some Classics - hidden away in some private collection. I like Erik's hidden winch set up. 👍🏻 Happy 50th birthday Range Rover! 🎂

[@erikiversen4497]

Thanks mate! :)

[@LandRoverDrive]

You and me both! Erik's general setup of his classis is great. Can do it all. 😀 So glad I can go overlanding and off-roading with Erik and his RRC. Really something special seeing it out there like it suppose to be. Happy 50th. What an great car. 👍

[@Megapro-fan]

Great show. Next time I bring my RRC two door 1982 to Norway instead of my Disco 3

[@gro9465]

Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your experiences. You certianly looked like you were having fun! I owned a restored and slightly enhanced 1972 2 door, and I used to take it off road and get stuck and very muddy indeed. OMG I really do miss that car... I have owned new Range Rovers every year since 1992 to 2014, and took all of them off road, it's what they are made for! My favourite was always the 1972, I need to search for another 😛 One question: When in very deep snow, you use snow chains on the rear, I didn't see any on the front wheels, is there a reason? Kindest regards.

[@LandRoverDrive]

Hey and thank you for watching! The Classic is and will be my favourite Range Rover for all time. It's something about the combination of the history of 4x4, the beautiful lines and the capabilities of the Classic that makes it the number one in my book. I have been looking my self for a while but don't have the money or time to take good care of it sadly. 😊 When it comes to the chains on the rear tires I'm not really sure. You can watch the whole video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaDEZGh-m7qfg6M - If Erik only had two or we didn't bother to add in the front just for the 24 hours we were there I can't remember. 😊 Best, Simon.

[@gro9465]

@@LandRoverDrive Simon, thank you for the reply. Good luck with your search, I'll keep you updated with my 2 door hunt... I wish I could remember the registration of my 1972, I had private plates in my ownership, and transferred to normal registration when sold. I really would like to own it again, forever. (I started buying all my old motorbikes that I wish I'd never sold!) Such is life 😊

Thank you so much Gary. Means a lot to hear that. 👍😁 Was fun to edit this one since it was a lot of videos to choose from. And I tried to mix the clip up a bit to make it interesting through the whole video. Also combining some scenes with music and some without. 👍 Glad you liked it.

[@LandRoverDrive]

Great install with the winch. Erik is a great mechanic and Range Rover owner. 😊

[@barryolaith]

At 11:16 is that petrol leaking out of the tank? Looking at other footage, in the snow, it looks like you have left the transmission standard, i.e. no locking diffs on the axles, so just the locking diff in the transfer box which does not prevent loss of drive on an axle once one wheel looses traction. Would be interested to have your thoughts and experience on this. I have the same standard transmission.

[@LandRoverDrive]

Yeah, the fuel leak is fixed a while a go. That clip is from one of the earliest videos that we filmed. Actually filmed on a iphone that clip. 😊 There is a center diff lock on the RRC, but no diff lock in the front and the rear axle. We use the diff lock as often we can to prevent blowing up the diffs/transmission. I think it is in use in most of the time in the winter videos. We can drive some streatches without first just to test and then try with it engage as we prefere slow and steady type of driving. Always be able to drive home is our motto when going off-roading. 😀 Thanks for watchng and coming back with a great comment and feedback. Appreciate that! Best, Simon

[@patmendoza9945]

How reliable has that Range Rover Classic been?

[@LandRoverDrive]

Quite Reliable. The yellow RRC, Erik's RRC, has been quite reliable and has had it's MOT/EU license almost all the time from the point of this video. Only issue that I know of has been fuel and getting it correct set up. And a minor oil leak but can't really remember. I will see if he can come on and share some info. @erikiversen4497 Best, Simon

[@erikiversen4497]

@patmendoza9945 there hasn't been a reliability issue that I can remember. No brake downs over the years. The terminal 50 used to fall off the starter motor sometimes due to a bad clamp and the tailgate used to unlatch itself while driving. 😅 think that's about it really. And yes.. the steering box gave in on me in the heavy snow one year. Worn old unit. And the fuel pump lost it's earth when flooring it up a sand dune. But all fixed now 😊 At the moment I'm dealing with getting the carbs 100 % correct after a major rebuild this fall. Purly maintanance. The engine wont idle at -10... And the gearbox and overdrive unit has started to leak from pretty much everywhere. And maybe the rear main seal of the engine by the looks of things. But I will consider it normal for an almost 50 year old car that see very little driving these days... 😊 will pull the gearbox apart next winter. There is also a noise in second gear that might need attention.

[@tommyking4700]

What color is the green two door? Factory Lincoln green?

[@LandRoverDrive]

Hey, I'm sorry but I'm not sure. I asked the owner and he did not have the color code. It's a bit paler than in the video because of color correction while editing, but not to far off. More photos of it on my instagram account: instagram.com/landroverdrive/ or on my facebook page: facebook.com/landroverdrive

[@kearnsey64]

How can you spend all that money and sweat and then beat the hell out of your classic Range Rover???

[@LandRoverDrive]

We use it with care. Test it out properly but still with care. 🙂👍 We are overlanders first and off-roaders second so we always take it slow and steady. But with the prices going up this RRC is getting retired from the off-road area for a while. 😉

[@RidingTusCanY]

The smoothness and the traction of this Range has never been accomplished by the the Land Rovers/Defenders only the Discovery and Discovery2 had the same capability (but with a less beautifull aspect) because they all three shared the same chassis and the same wheelbase

[@LandRoverDrive]

It's a great setup and what and machine it is and is definetely the car others need to follow. With not front and rear lockers it is maybe the best one out there. Great info, did not know that. Erik probably does, as he is the super LR nerd we love. 🙂
