So very happy that there are gentlemen like Harry (however few there are) who has property and the where withal to enjoy an appetite for internal combustion :) Most importantly for those of us who aren't in Harry's position, he shares it with us on KZread as an enthusiast and not as an elitist. Thank you Harry :)

You must be the coolest car collector alive! Such passion and a very charismatic approach at reviewing every single one of them.

I just love these modded Defenders, and with the jacked up suspension you could get at least 5 traffic wardens underneath. Epic!

The only problem is if you try and run a traffic warden over he could just duck.

Excellent video Harry. I must say that the initial intro to it is just great... Like a monster!!!

Smiled at the subtle hint on the back seat. Just need an Omega on the wrist.

This is badass. Thanks for the upload mr Harry. Always enjoy your videos

That was fun - enjoyed that! Miss my Defender during these bloody winters - always got you there, and in the summer felt like you were on safari when you went to the shops! Great cars.

& those light switches at 10:10 are used for lights that would go on when hunting kangaroo at night in Australia, hence the kangaroo symbols. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I swear it's true. Loving the episode!

Love your work, Harry! And the beer in the glovebox! James should be happy! :)

It's always a happy day when Harry uploads.

Harry you are great mate. :-) so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and what great fun on your own farm with all that space.. the bit at the end were you wanted to hand brake it. lol fantastic :)

Absolutely magnificent vehicle, wonderfully presented by somebody who knows his subject matter and also in an environment to demonstrate it capabilities. There are so few of these but I think you'll agree the right man (Harry) got to to own one of these. Slightly envious, and would love to be a passenger.

Yep - we'll say it for you then Harry - as used in the 'Spectre' Bond film :)

Only found you're channel Harry, love the reviews you have done so far, especially the 600SL in the South of France. Love to see a review of it up against a Jaguar XJS 6.0 V12 of the same vintage.

Why would he need a number plate if he cant use it on the road?

I can't really recognize the mysterious "event" by looking at the car, but I've spotted that Harry is wearing a Nato-strap on his watch which was also worn by Sean Connery in Goldfinger... ;-) Back in the days on a Rolex Sub (I think in his books Ian Flaming let Bond wear an Rolex Explorer - or something that was desribed as looking like an Explorer). But that was before James Bond has become a brand ambassador. Speaking of which, Harry might be wearing a Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial "Spectre" Limited Edition.

What a great modded defender, just awesome. I'd have rubber donuts around those noisy rose joints on day one! Nice vid Harry!

Awesome Defender, I bet you can't wait for it to snow so you can have a proper play around in the fields I hope you get some footage of that if you do. The neighbours will know who to call if they get themselves stuck! :D Thanks for sharing Harry, best car show on KZread!

The torque and grip that thing's got is really impressive, love the rose joints, very Countach.

You know you are a car enthusiast, when you buy a defender which isn't road legal, built for the snow and live in england... I love it!

Love that bit on the hydraulic handbrake! "Might be a way that's been reconnected, don't know how that might happen..." Suppose we'll have to wait and see annoyingly

Harry, you are making me go nuts, constantly talking about your beautiful bikes, and not showing them to us! :)

Love the vids harry superb. Hmmm the watch you’re wearing might hint at the “event” you “don’t” mention😁

Great job keeping the secret there Harry. Nobody will get it from the "OO07" dummy plate and the SPECTRE poster on the back seat! xD Very cool machine though, whatever special event it might have been built for.

Too cool! I would imagine you could add some polyethylene bushings/washers to the shock mount bolts to shunt the rattling down a bit. Congrats on that awesome toy!

Dear mr. Metcalfe, I am a fan so don't get me wrong, but why do you invest tons of money in cars and cheap out on your sound? A simple lavalier microphone with a dead cat of even an old sock to block the windnoise would make your wonderful videos way more enjoyable. Love the Land Rover!

One of the things that excite me most about your videos is that you you seem to do most of the video work yourself. What an amazing job! I really enjoy every single video of yours.

amazing bit of kit

I was a bit surprised at the bits that were already showing rust! Never owned a Defender myself but I've driven a friend's 110 with a very turbocharged Isuzu 4BD1. *Preposterous* torque. We towed one of my cars with it (~1400kg including the trailer) and the only differences we noticed were braking (of course) and 100C higher on the EGT gauge. It still accelerated pretty hard

Please also make a tour of the farm, what you grow there, whether you have horses etc?

Hey Harry, nice video ! What brand of frontspots are those ? Grts

Great Landy, my jku sits on 38×14.50 tyres and rims. With a 4.5 inch lift.

Great video Harry, as always! I have a question though: how difficult would it be to make this road legal? Because otherwise this seems way too expensive and nice for exclusively an off-roader.

Good insight 👍🏾

I would bet ed China could work some bushes in those shocks Harry? Your vids are always the highlight of my week thanks

Damn Harry, you've got a lot of land there

Amazing machine. With a suspension knocking constantly like that I would go crazy !!

Cool video. Those suspension tops that cause the rattle for being metal against metal, will that not wear out with time?

Hey Harry, maybe you can attach a rubber band to the upper damper to keep it central but still have full range of motion. Or rubber bumpers on the damper or frame similar to what is used on the frame of a downhill mountain bike for dual crown forks(maybe same as a motorocycle?)

Not saying that the 007 plate gave it away... Cool video and car, to bad it's not street legal.

Still can't believe land rovers stopped making the defender!

Welcome 008, to the world of aftermarket suspension modding! Bowlerized Landys are excellent, no doubt. I know someone here in Canada who runs a very similar setup. More common here, obviously, is the Jeep Wrangler, latest edition is the 'JK', and the four-door is my favourite snow vehicle - with 10k worth of suspension bits tacked on of course and 36'-40' tires. V8 swaps are still the franken-choice but Cummins has a new 4 cycl diesel crate engine packaged in mind of the Jeepsters so it should start making a dent - at least here above the 49th parallel if not the Mason-Dixon line where evolution has hit a snag or two these last decades. 40' tires ridiculous? Depends completely on the size of the rocks one plan's on driving over, doesn't it? Thnx for the great videos; I have spent the last 4 yrs-plus convalescing back in Canada and as a result my maps are marked up w/ hundreds of intended routes and stops - many from small details in your videos taken in France (even Algeria) - all for my impending and triumphal, if tardy, return to Europe. Like the last time it's planned to be a permanent move but will stick because niggles like mortality won't be considered deal killers this time around. While I plan to explore the continent's pleasures and treasures for the rest of my days, I thank you for assisting to make getting there almost bearable in the meantime. For some odd reason here's nothing quite like watching someone hand their 12 cyl. ferrari a well-cultured beating to make your morning. Strange but true. 'till next...

Need to see it go through some real obstacles and challenging terrain

Another great video from one of the most natural and enthusiastic car presenters in the world. Really enjoyable to see his passion shine through!

Metcalfe now owns and farms a 400 acre Cotswold farm near Shilton, Oxfordshire.[6] It is termed a mixed farm, mainly arable with wheat being the main crop. Metcalfe rents out the 80 acres of grassland - 70 of which is organic - to a livestock farmer, who farms Sussex cattle, sheep and alpacas. The farm also has 10 acres of wild bird mix and over 3 miles of stone walls to maintain.[7]

Can't help thinking that if Land Rover had turned out a few 'tuned' versions that were road legal they might still be making them. The world needs something between a basic farm defender and a Range Rover.

Thank you so so much

Thanks a lot Harry, this was a video I never thought i'd see.. to see one of the actual svr defenders from the film.

Pure joy - another fantastic video harry - thank you

Very good

Love that truck of yours Harry do you mind give us a bit of a glimpse of how much it costs? cheers

Reminds me of a heavily modified Jeep! Led lights, wench, lifted suspension, nobby tires, black wheels, wide fenders, straps... Nice bit of kit. About time they spruced this old slow elephant up to the current century.

Harry i spent soo much time in Land Rover off roading with my good friend Stuart Walker Ultra Off Road 4x4 saw loads of these chopped vehicles spent hours pulling them out of the mud a standard defender with a good set of simex would do anything it can do.

You can tell it was used in the bond film spectre because of the '0007' number plate !!

Amazing Defender! But why do so many not have portal axles?

Awesome

Harry, could you do a film on the new Jaguar XKSS,the ones I've seen have been a bit lacking,it's such an amazing project I guess it will sell itself, which is just as well as the introduction film was a bit twee, and it would have been nice to see the folks who built it,and someone conveying it that really knows his or her stuff, I knew more about old jags at seventeen,or the history atleast. and now they've used up the nine continuation no.s Can you ask Jaguar to go in to full production so we can all have one, certain concessions to modernity allowed but no sensors! Cheers that'd be great. Failing all that,these films you do are excellent and perhaps a review on a T16 road car. Would be splendid, on a return journey up north years ago to buy a Yamaha RS 125,I called at a chip shop the young owner had a t16 but aspired to a Porsche turbo I wonder if he ever got it? Crackin looking hot hatch though that Peugeot.

Cool truck. What does this weigh? Is it really heavy? Seems like diesel would be good for rocks but bad for mud because of the weight. You have a great collection m8.

Another great video Harry, and what a fantastic machine! Interesting to see that a low range gearbox and some proper tyres trump the Range Rover electronics and power off-road...

I love defenders, and that one is bad ass👍

Loving the videos Harry keep them coming👍🏻

have they changed the gearing in the diff to compensate for bigger wheels?

11:36 Easter Egg. Btw Harry, all the switches say "non operational" so it seems like they simply do not work...
