That's a scratchy lane that first one. My grandpa had an electricity board series 2. It did a tour of the USA and Canada, South Africa, Morocco, Turkey Italy and Nordcap. All in the 1970's! Would love to buy her back. UAF985H Great video.

Thanks for the video, I've always been interested in Old Land Rovers. Unfortunately they are both scarce and expensive in the upper midwest USA. So I watch youtube videos to enjoy seeing such impressive vehicles.

This video brings back fond memories of when my dad used to drive a Southern Electricity Landrover, it had the 7.50 tyres which were known to rub the chassis,, a great video most unexpected 👍

Was that a series? Where did he work from?

@@onetonlandroverhi i think it was a 109 6 cylinder petrol, as you are probably aware the big tyres weren't always an advantage, he was a linesman his yard was in Marlow Bucks ,he ended up driving a 6 wheel Landrover Cherry picker V8 petrol 👍

They did run some standard sixes, may have been one of those, although some late 1 Tons were run on 7.50x16s.

Hi ,yes it was running on 7.50 x16 ,but to my dad's amazement they also tried Austin Gipsies but they didn't reign very long,

Thanks! We did have a couple of Suzukis, as the owners LRs were VOR, but usually it's LRs only, and then almost exclusively series.

Five vehicles max in a convoy to reduce damage to ground? Count 14 vehicles in this convoy. The Green Lane Association will have a heart attack and the likes of GLEAM can use this against us. We're losing lanes every month and this size of convoy does not help our cause. Nice motors though.
@onetonlandrover4 ай бұрын
it was two groups of seven iirc, the first one (which I was part of) got held up clearing fallen trees etc on the first lane, leading to the second group catching up. We were split up by a time gap later. I didn't organize it either but I'll pass on your comments.
