- Driving my Land Rover from 1978 on snow covered roads during winter with the GoPro camera mounted on different places, inside and outside of the car, filming it as I was driving.
The tires are Michelin 7.50-R16-C O/R XZL 4x4 M+S on Defender 5.5" rims.
Filmed in Sweden february 2022
Nice footage...and beautiful surroundings you're living. Bye. 🇱🇺
Thank you!
what's a lovely video. 💜
Thank you! And what a nice Suzuki Samurai you have as a profile picture. I've had one of those once! Great little cars!
Greeting from Canada where old Series L-R are rare. Years ago I had an 88 inch Series 2A which was my winter toy. Thank you for the ride!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I'd love to drive on Canadian roads in the mountains and the forests! Visiting your country is a dream of mine. Maybe someday!

Lovely video and bombing along my 2a has same rattle going from 3 to 4 gear was funny hearing it in yours is engine original petrol, Aidan in Ireland 🇮🇪
These very lovely cars seems to be making a lot of special sounds from door hinges, to gear boxes to starter engines that many people around the world recognise :)
Best Regards, Michael from Sweden 🇸🇪
Winter wonderland... thanks for showing!
You're welcome, I'm glad you appreciated it! 🙂
This is so nice....no talking just enjoying this beautiful old warrior...well done..👍🏻👊🏻.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Salut, j'ai le même Land en Algérie et de la même année je trouve que c'est le meilleur 4x4 au monde, ça me fait un grand plaisir de voir le 109 roulant sur la neige😍🙋❄👍
Votre commentaire me fait plaisir ! Bonne chance avec votre 109 Land Rover ! (J'ai dû utiliser Google Translate pour comprendre) ☺
Ahhh merci beaucoup pour l'effort que tu as fait et j'espère à très bientôt, et vive la passion du land🙋👍❄💚
After restoring an old Jaguar many years ago, ( it was being used on a farm like an old truck), I swore to myself I would never put myself through that headache again.
If I come across a suitable old Landie, I may have to rethink my agenda. I absolutely love these series wagons. They are nearly impossible to find here in California.
Well done!👌
I've done some restorations back in the days on classic american cars, doing paint jobs etc. but this one I'll keep as it is. I absolutely love the patina.

I agree. I wouldn’t change either.👌
Nice truck and such a fun drive...love the angles and the scene.. 🙌
Very different environment compared to Indonesia! 🙂 The Land Rover works everywhere around the world 💪
Nothing better than seeing one of Solihull's finest in the terrain she was built for, especially when you obviously took some time in the production. she looks great Machinarm.
They rattle your teeth, the engine noise is deafening & easily of 'Industrial injury' levels, but as your hearing deteriorates over the years it become more acceptable.
Breaking is of the 'Cruise Liner' method, keep looking miles ahead & brake accordingly.
They leak fluids like 'The Torrey Canyon,'
Keep 'em outside & the window sliders rot & turn green with moss & seize up in a month,
Because you're too tight to splash out on a folding step, you're foot continually slips off the greased tow hitch when you climb in the back door,
After suddenly realising to your horror that you hadn't engaged the free wheeling hubs two seconds after pulling away in 4WD, you stop suddenly, jump out into 6 inch deep slush, mud or water, engage them & sigh in relief when you realise no damage has been done.
Because you love the wheel on the hood look, you accept the herculean effort it takes to lift it & also the potential guillotine now above your head when standing on an aforementioned freewheeling hub to repair the throttle linkage.
And all THAT is why I just absolutely adore 'em with a passion.& owned about two dozen of 'em over the last 40 years, best looking vehicle ever designed and no mistake. Form following function, just like all the best designs.
Thanks for your comment, it's spot on :)
They are indeed very special cars to drive, and even though they are painfully slow, noisy and uncomfortable, it always brings me to a smile that no other car has done. Cheers!
nice video.. you drive hard in the snow..that is sweden.... i am a owner of a marine blue serie III swb from 1977 her in germany
The series III is a very capable car even in cold weather, snow and on Swedish winter roads. The tires is winter specification Michelin XZL (M+S) but not studded, and I have to be really careful when breaking so that I do not lock the wheels😬. Love your country by the way! We visit Germany often for vacation 🥨🍺❤
I enjoyed that. Lovely 109”, great little video production. Thanks for sharing. All the best Mat
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks :)
All the familiar rattles and squeaks of a Landy. Some nice engine noise too. Hope the heater is working well. How are the brakes? My Landy goes well in the snow but doesn't stop so well as it's such a challenge getting all the brakes adjusted evenly. Lovely to see. Thanks for sharing.
All the noise and shaking also makes it feel like your driving faster than ever until you check the speedometer 😬
The brakes are fine, they where not good when I bought the car but I got an brake overhaul-kit and replaced all the brake related components, from the main cylinder to the brake lines, hoses, cylinders and drums and spent a day balancing everything. Been driving for a year now and they still work really good. Glad you enjoyed the video!
I believe you are in low range on a roo like that high range 4x4 would be appropriate
Hi, it’s hi-range 2WD.
Front differential is disconnected with the free wheel locking hubs.
It’s much easier to handle a drift with rwd only 😊
Should be in high range. Had a bonnet fall on my head if a wheel had been fitted it would have killed me low range rarely needed on flat road you could take off in fourth to much reves in first low range snaps the half shaft. Had my 2a swb 1971 for 23. Years
Hi, it’s hi-range 2WD.
Also the front differential is disconnected with the free wheel locking hubs.
