1981 Series Land Rover "The Brit Bus" | S1 E07 | Terminal Apex
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This 1981 Series 3 Stage 1 Land Rover can be described in a few words...spartan, functional, rugged, utilitarian, and a capable classic. Joe Polcari found the perfect truck overseas in Australia, and after deciding he couldn't live without it, had it put on a ship and brought his way to Connecticut. It exemplifies everything "Land Rover" from the color, to the tires, to the classic styling. A newer Rover V8 has taken the place of the original motor, and a few custom dents have been added, but otherwise this is a true-to-life original old iron off roader from simpler times, with a design that has stayed timeless to this day.

I'm the guy who sold this beauty to Joe in Australia, what a fantastically brilliant video. I'm so glad she's being used to her full potential!

Well I guess I’m the guy who sold it to you! Carlton NSW
Love this made me smile ...😊 exactly the way i feel about mine
I can appreciate how passionate he is about his about his truck..my classic county lwb stole my heart.
Yeah this is a good looking specimen, that stance is perfect!
Yep, got a Stage 1 as well. Nothing like a V8 in a Land Rover. I put an automatic gearbox in it, as well as parabolics. My father told me to make sure I never sell it. I won’t!🤟
Hi Joe I have the same loveable machine same colour too, there kind of like a wife I guess, you don't always get your way but nice to know their there 😎, the video is heart warming
Loving the few dings and dents, a Landy isn't right unless it has a few! My old Defender was all busted up before I sold it, still upset as I put massive hours into it over a series of 7 years or so. Might get me a series 3 now - cheers.
Awesome!! Lots of help from Joe, on my Stage 1 V8 as well. Excellent video, shows the true passion of ownership. While highlighting the uniqueness of the Stage 1 V8.
hi i own the same truck 4.6 wagon, and you said that you sail the truck down the road,i have always said driving this truck is like sailing. but you can fix the steering slop to almost none,fit the army steering box. i use mine for fishing on the beach crossing big sand dunes to acess the beach. this rover is so special that once you have one you cant sell it.mine has folding sleeping bunks,water tanks,fuel tanks, fridge etc.tam
awesome job and it's amazing that you find people that just get it

HeavyMetalConcepts Yes please and if you stick with the off-road/4wd theme that would be awesome. Not many people doing this in this type of format.
Love it. But I am bit biased.
Nice videos as usual
Nice Job Will.

Io te amo Land Rover...
Great Video, Been living in Europe or many years and my Faithful series 3 diesel will be coming home with my to Canada, How much did the shipping cost you ? was it a Container ship or Roll on Roll off?
Lovely ol girl 😍
You need a mechanic who knows those cars and it will drive reliable. I am driving a 79 as my daily.
Can't afford a Chevelle? That's a 26 thousand dollar rig

destro513 if you’re making an offer it’s a $26G rig haha I have less than half that into it as it sits today.
Too much tire pressure.
