The feelings after getting our own Land Rover Series III

[@tevaughnalleyne]

Beautiful rig!!! I myself have a Series 3 station wagon from 1978!

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Thank you! Rock on mate👍

[@edmcgaugh]

Welcome to the club! We have a 1971 Series 2A. If you ever pass through the Dordogne, look us up!

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Great thanks 👍😁

[@ceciliaholcombe818]

I just left a message on your other video. YES!!! you bought a Series 3 1980 just like me...awesome! I'm more excited than ever now.. Mine is also a diesel with left hand steering. Since I'm 71, I decided to at least put power steering in it as they are rebuilding. Wish I could send you pictures. I have two more months to wait. Happy driving and convincing me I made the right decision. Mine is also a Santana with a Safari top that we will take off. It was used on an oliver farmer.

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Thank you for your comment Cecilia! Also read the other comment. Great to find soul mates in loving these cars😊 we are so happy having it. The reaction from people are always so super positive and our little town feels like a holiday resort when we drive around with "Saffe". It's funny how it is so primitive to drive and at the same time so much fun. Please send me a picture of yours if you want when you get it: [e-mail] Cheers, Klaus

[@mattildasjourney4735]

Great video, I love my 1980!

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Thank you! Oh, you're a happy owner too! Nice👍

[@ManfredGorgus]

A series 3 in Finnland - thats a natural surroundinf for it!

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

It likes being here😁👍

[@ronitsingh85]

its a well restored looking seres 3 88" wheel base, love the short wheel rovers.

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Yes, it's in good shape. The short version is our favorite too😊

[@ssgill]

Welcome to the world of Land Rovers, the love and pains and the commitment to owning one.

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Oh yeah! It's a multiverse of pleasures and challenges 😁

[@coreyjohnson2093]

Enjoyed watching. About to get my own Landy.

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Happy to hear! A few months till spring and then she's coming out again : )

[@janpys8673]

Congrats Guys! Both on the car and the video!! I just purchased similar car 1980 Land Rover Santana diesel and was smiling all the time when watching your video! Enjoy and keep making videos as i subscribed 😍

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Oh, you got a similar... cool : )Thank you for your kind comment!

[@BadPennyDogBoy]

The joy of children with a new toy! I love it. Incidentally, I have two of them!! My most fun drive.

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Pretty sweet : ) I think we will manage with one... for now : D

[@franbaburiic8154]

i like so much ur Landy i have series 2a

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Thank you! Very nice👍

[@oilstovesandmore]

Great car! I own a couple of these series LandRovers and they are great fun!. Wishing you lots of good adventures. Greatings from the Netherlands

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Sweet👍Thank you🙏

[@a.caglayan9667]

Loved the stickers! Where did you get them from if don’t mind me asking?

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Not at all! I'm a graphic designer and I made them myself. Designed them to look like worn-out, old paper luggage/travel stickers, but they are actually printed on weather proof plastic material.

[@robbrent]

Congratulations and happy driving. I leant to drive in one back in the 60’s and had a Discovery 3 when they first came out and now have a 2009 90 which I love but only use rarely. If I lived in a rural village where I didn’t need to do any high speed long distance driving I’d never own any other car for the rest of my life.

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Thank you Rob! We have had the Disco 2, the last of the older generations. We loved that car. Very happy with the Seris Now as a contrast to our "boring" Disco 4😁

[@pauljenkins2501]

Happy driving! I owned a Series 3 for a few years, and loved it a lot. Sadly, I had to sell it and buy a modern car when I changed job, and needed to drive a longer distance each day. Take good care of that Landy and have fun with it!

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Oh no! Hope you get an old Landy again some day : ) We will take care of our, thank you!

[@jdenmark1287]

Aloha from Hawaii! Currently have a Land Rover Perentie, but I’ve owned quite a few series as well. Cheers

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

@jdenmark1287 Hi there! Nice to hear from an other LR fan! Had to google what the Perentie is, but now I know😊Cool! Stay safe and have fun with your car!

[@suem3980]

Congratulations... wishing you lots of fun in Safari 😍

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Thank you! 😊🙏

[@jeffreyday7533]

I have just picked up a 1973 short wheelbase Landrover and same colour as yours in very good condition with the genuine licence plates ( JAMESBOND). I have had many Landies including new Defenders in the past but this is the best so far. I am very aware these are slow ,leak oil, noisy but I am so attracted to these most iconic Landies,and for this model to be in the latest James bond movie it attract alot of attention.People definately look twice at the plates including the police but laugh when they check their for real. 😊😊

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Very cool! Congratulations 👍😊

[@Jabberstax]

That's an awesome car. 👌 What alternatives do you get in Finland? Japanese or American SUVs or pick ups?

[@ScottDavenportandco]

Where did you get the cargo floor mat? I really like it; looks great and seems very practical for removal and cleaning.

[@workshop_deluxe2493]

Moi. Really nice video, kiitoksia. Greetings to Porvoo.

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Kiiitos👍😁

[@SwedishRiflery]

very nice land rover, I see you have Marshall Stanmore II in the center box, how did you solve the power for it ?

[@brendanhaley3668]

That is such a great car. I would love to buy one as they are such an icon of the Western side of the Cold War and British engineering. They are so expensive Down Under. Long may it stay with you!

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Thank you! Are they just hard to find there, or are there some special regulations or taxations on this kind of a car that makes them so expensive?

[@brendanhaley3668]

@@fromfinlandwithlove5276 they are hard to find as it is a land where we can 4x4 all year round. They also hold their value really well. Here if a vehicle is more than 30 years old it is cheaper to register it on the road than a new car.

[@Jabberstax]

They're becoming rarer and more expensive in the UK as well.

[@TheOverlandLegend]

Well done for buying a Land Rover , looks like you are loving it

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Yes we love it! After that we also bought a Defender from 2007 which we use in the winter when this one is in the garage 😊

[@billbearback2591]

well done ,thanks for sharing , the enjoyment of slowing down and experiencing driving like this is like riding an old motorcycle , its by the seat of your pants ,driving my old vehicles it was pointed out to me ,,no seatbelts , then i thought ,well how often do you have a huge collision or a roll over , in my case ,actually never in 40 yrs of driving , now you need a '45 wla harley or 40's knucklehead harley , cheers big ears from down under

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Cheers! Thanks for the comment! And oh yeah, Harley next👍😊 Happy new year mate!

[@henryratajczak7806]

First of all, LAND ROVERS DON'T LEAK OIL. THEY'RE MARKING THEIR TERRITORY!!! They're like driving a farm tractor with a car body on it.❤❤❤❤❤

[@44pm1965]

Nice truck, i have 2a from 1967, and i love your jacket, wich brand is it.

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Cool! Thank you : ) The jacket... it's actually a flea market find, an unused army jacket. It has no markings so I don't know anything about it, but I like it. The fabric is very tightly woven and tho collar is thick, which is nice since the draft usually blows from the back when driving with and open car.

[@spellbinder101]

Is this vehicle fitted with free wheeling hubs, if so you will have to engage them before you get four wheel drive.

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

Good point👍Yeah it is. I forgot to mention that. In the winter, we mostly had four wheel drive on and front wheels locked.

[@spellbinder101]

@@fromfinlandwithlove5276 all you need now is a overdrive unit fitted to the back of your gearbox and you’ll have a ton of gear ratios in two and four wheel drive, have fun working out how many there are.

[@chriswalker4272]

They're an adventure every journey. Contemporary cars disconnect you from the feeling of what's going on, so you lose the visceral experience of driving, theyre almost too good and every journey forgettable. But these old leafers are so much more of a fun challenge to drive, giving feedback by the bucket load, complete with all the bangs and rattles. I just love driving mine, especially off road in my woodland, to work with nature restoring woodland and the natural habitat. It's an extremely practical work horse too. No namby pamby plastic bits breaking all the time when all the tools and stuff is chucked in. Your car looks lovely, I hope you get many years use and pleasure out of her. Have you named her yet? I call my 1975 S3 Gigi.

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

My wife has named "her" Safari, also known as Saffe : D. Yes, totally agree. We have been driving around on small sand roads, exploring the surroundings. With a this car low speed feels great, and as you say, every journey becomes an adventure. Happy to hear that you are having fun with your car too. We are also doing a lot of practical stuff with it, not having to be scared of the car getting a few scratches. When we go and buy. stuff from local farmers and little markets, I love just lifting the stuff on the floor in the back of the car. Feels like country life : )

Nice wheels, but what about those "tadaas"! First Lotten and Klaus answered with a perfect fifth below.

A beauty Land Rover Series III made by Santa Ana, until today 7 Land Rover's only Series and 3 Santa Ana's, take a look at Paul Misencik "What is a Land Rover Santana", better than British Series

Yes! Actually watched that video just before we bought it! Very well explained : )
