  Nice, One thing to note..... Semi floating was standard on SWB all the way to the end in 1958, full float was an option. (Full float did become standard on 109 pickup and 107 SW late production) My daily driver is a 1958 88" (Nov 1957 build) it's an original semi float rear axle. Came into San Francisco California in December 1958 and spent it's whole life in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Done the Rubicon trail, trips to Moab Utah, it's lived a life. It still looks very original (what's left of the original dove grey paint) though the 2 litre was long gone when I got it, sooooo, I did a super stealthy Chevy LS v8 swap, quiet exhaust, upgraded the gearbox, but kept the semi float (with custom upgraded 32 spline shafts that look totally stock outside). It also has an early Land Rover factory hydraulic winch up front, that gets tested on occasion !! I run the 7.50-16 version of your tyres, too ! It's super quiet and VERY period correct outwardly and the purists don't know it's LS swapped unless they go for a ride. Thanks for sharing your beautiful 88" One last note... get some proper series I scalloped drive flanges for the front hubs, those round series IIA ones grab my eye !

  @@LandySmurf Your 88 has such a cool work history that it should be kept as authentic as possible, and those front drive flanges really show. Another bit of trivia about the semi float axle that I learned by daily driving these since the 1980's is that while Rover had a oil seal INBOARD of the bearing to keep the diff oil away from it, the bearing itself was "shielded type" with no integral seals, just tin dust deflectors and no outer seal..... That's right, the first deep mud or water crossing contaminated the bearing !! No wonder those early "overland expeditions" had bearing problems with the semi float setup ! Modern sealed bearings made for the "big bearing" 9 inch ford axle are a direct fit and cure the issue. Even in my 350 HP LS swapped 1958 model, I had to retain the semi floating axle because I feel the big axle flange is so integral to the original "look" of a series I HaHa!! I'm a machinist, so making identical appearing shafts with much larger spline count was pretty easy, and at 1.400" -32 splines, are much stronger than 24 spline Salisbury. The diff internals are also super stealthy fancy stuff I built.

  A very informative video, many thanks. I drove the standard Series 2A briefly during my military service, in 1982 while on a driver's course. I remember thinking that this model had much better torque from it's engine as opposed to the Series 3, which had the gutless engine.

It was still being used daily on a cattle ranch in Central California. They are very rare here on the West Coast and most are being gobbled up by people who over restore them for trophy trucks.

  @@LandySmurf We lived on a remote back country Cattle Station in New Zealand. My best memory of that Series 1 was when Dad hit a pig late one night when we were coming home from town. There was Mum and Dad in front and us 3 kids in the back. The land rover did a wheel stand over the pig then crashed back down into the water table beside the road wrecking the steering so it couldn't be driven. We had to walk about 3 miles home in the dark and the rain. Don't think Mum stopped yelling at Dad the whole way home. The pig ran off into the bush.
