The beautiful simplicity of the Series Land Rover 👍🏻

This '73 Series 3 2.25 litre petrol remains listed in the registration database as SORNed, so still around!

S3 1974,still playing Hard! Greetings from Ecuador!

My back hurts just watching this.

Hardcore. When there's virtually nothing to break, and so simple to fix if anything does happen, I guess you can drive it as hard as that.

Many year ago I had a Series 3 with a V8 engine fitted. Had it for eight years and went to Billing every year for off road fun, Really miss it and sorry I ever sold it but it was only used as a fun vehicle by me.Happy days.

I do see how those sun glasses helped with the traction... I also do miss my series 3.

Wow, they don't make them like this any more... either vehicles or instructional films!!

I'm a big fan of land rovers, but I don't understand why in 50 years they have never thought of putting a axle differential lock, at least on the rear a, with the central locked you always have to overcome certain obstacles with only inertia ,and that means aggressive driving, and we know how delicate the drivetrain is in our beloved Land Rovers

Well yeah cuz center-lock is just putting it into standard four-wheel-drive the way a selectable four-wheel-drive goes in. Center-lock is just four wheel drive for all wheel drive vehicles like these. Yeah I don't know why I didn't follow Jeep now Jeeps have solid axles in front and rear lockers and now Land Rover is all air suspension independent front and rear completely backward opposite of what they should be but I think that kind of fits their Heritage of always trying to be unique they just took it too far

Some great tips!

I still want a Series Land Rover after 14 years of not having one.

Bought a 1973 last year in amazing condition that someone was practically giving away, if you have the means to look after it etc. your best bet is to go through the owners club, there will always be one lying around that someone wants to get rid of :)

Think UK gov should have taken the tooling off them as the armed forces are still using them ...

Yes,you can tell it’s not his to worry about.

1974 must have been one of the last years Land Rover was dominant on the European 4x4 market. Starting form 1975, the first diesel BJ40's emerged in Belgium (port of Antwerp). France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, ... soon started buying Land Cruisers instead of Land Rovers. Cheers

Must be why the Camel Trophy used land cruisers then?

Well no it’s not

Tis interesting that today Land Rover do not offer a manual gearbox in its current range of vehicles!!!! The manual gearbox is a thing of the past!!! But the majority of the world first In countered a vehicle was a manual Land Rover as their first ever vehicle!!! Times have differently changed!!! Still love my suffix A manual Range Rover!!!

Or solid axles

4:03 more grip=more style

When Videos were done well

I tried these same maneuvers in an MG Midget. Not quite as successful.

Forget less drag wider tires walk across that sand easier. It's literally proven

Why am I watching this
