My dad had a 1997 Discovery with the 5-speed manual, was a great vehicle for all the roads (and trails) in Bolivia and this video gives me the same kind of feeling that car gave me as we ran up and down the mountains pushing it to the limit. Loved the video and the amazing content coming from this channel as of late
@@michaelblue5261 Which would you choose, a 200TDi or a 300TDi ? Anyone heard of the Darien Gap? What colour carpet came in a suffix A? ‘There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow…’
I think this is just one of the best and most fun off-road videos I´ve ever watched - and you're sending all the energy alone! Congrats on this great production :)
Another viewer who found Ryan during the rallyist days (which I must re watch, thinking about it...). A really fantastic video. Great to see you doing stuff like this!
As the owner of a ‘95 LWB, I would have appreciated the video more if he could have simply reversed it and tried a bit more momentum. I’ve been in deeper and still come out. Although I guess every Land Rover vid needs some drama these days...
I before all the Toyota and Chevy elitists about how much better everything else is. I had a 95 Disco. Surprisingly reliable for the couple years I had it. Far from perfect but it was a great trail rig to learn on. One of the most charming and quirky vehicles I’ve ever had and it’s really where a lot of the charm and allure to these vehicles comes from. I’ll always recommend a Toyota to my friends, objectively better in every way, but a Rover will always have my heart. There’s a soul to those vehicles that American and Japanese cars just don’t seem to have.
Unless you drive a modern Jeep which is the only vehicles to come with solid axles and front rear lockers and Factory sway bar disconnects. The rest of the world the Jeep probably has a special soul as being what Landrover copied originally but since we see them everywhere like literally a Rubicon on every corner we don't care but a Rubicon is so amazing off-road from the factory
I put 300,000 kms on my L322 turbo diesel v8 Range Rover, fantastic off road, it was completely stock I never had an issue with it..... I had a Jeep Wrangler unlimited before and it went everywhere the Jeep went and then some. It was incredibly comfortable doing and getting there AND home. One of the best cars made
Love this video. My only gripe would be describing the Classics dash. What you have there is a one year only dash. On the very last year it was made. All the other 20+ years of production look very very different inside.
Land rovers were designed for farming not war! The first lr’s were petrol, the original Diesel engine was crap. That’s out of a disco. I grew up with an 88 and v8 110. Not a first gen RR either, they had two doors!
The Range Rover wasn’t designed/built for the North America market. It was designed and built for the gentleman farmer and professional tradesmen, engineers, surveyors, architects and landowners of GB and former colonial countries. It was a two door, manual, non carpeted vehicle with soft, long travel suspension based on the rover salon. It also was designed with the rover salon V8 in mind to power it. The permanent four wheel drive with unlocking transfer case ( in some models automatically locking lsd) with cv joint front end developed for the Range Rover was then used in the Stage 1 V8 series (precursor to 110) and FC 101 gun tractor all of which used the same LT95 combination transmission/transfer case. It slowly developed into a leisure vehicle from functional progress as one. The development of the discovery 1 which utilized all Range Rover running gear and most of the body, but was designed around the 200tdi motor and L75 transmission replaced the Range Rover as a utility vehicle with the added benefit of supplying more seats.
But the RR won the first 2 Paris Dakar races so why do you think it can’t handle the tough stuff. I believe it conquers Continents and was only car to conquer the jungles in South America. Please should some respect for the abilities it has already proven…. Just saying!
As an owner of both, 1995 Range Rover Classic LWB 25th Anniversary and the 1989 Fj62 Toyota Land Cruiser, the Classis its beautiful and the ride is so comfortable. Buttttt.... My ex wife who hated the Land Cruiser & loved the Range Rover Classic used to call the Land Cruiser," Mr. Reliable". I called the Fj62," The Work Horse ". You hit the trails on a wknd, and on Monday morning you turn that key and it's ready to go. The Classic, same scenario,on Monday morning, you are calling AAA.😡 But I still love the Classic. I hope I don't hurt anyone's feeling, just my experience.
When I was a kid I have best memories of our family defender here in Australia. Troop carrier style with rear bench seats along the side walls so is 4 kids faces each other. Good old fashion bar tread 16R tyres and my father got rid of the little petrol engine and replaced it with a 3.3ltr straight six Holden engine, the legendary Red motor, aka the "202". Dad said it was both the best and worst thing you could do to a defender. Better fuel economy and double the power, but the diffs and gear boxes are made of glass and left us stranded a couple of times lol
Really enjoyed this episode .. Hagerty really making good quality videos with no nonsense 👍🏼👍🏼 for me jeep/ (willys)and land rover set the bar by bringing the 4x4 vehicle to the mainstream .. yes Toyota came along and made more reliable … but they were the true pioneers.
The Range Rover wasn't replaced by the other cars in the Camel Trophy. The other cars were new models and required marketing and proving to the public.
Hagerty the content you guys & girls have been putting out lately is the stuff of Petrol heads dreams! I absolutely love the 100 Defender and this is coming from a hardcore Land Cruiser guy.
El Defender es el vehículo 4x4 más hermoso... Yo no tengo un Defender pero si más acabo de comprar un SANTANA ANIBAL 110 hermano del Defender... Son casi gemelos... Aunque el MIO tiene un motor más confiable... UN ISUZU 4X4... ES UNA BELLEZA...... LO tengo modificado casi como un Defender.... Si tuviera dinero.... Hoy por hoy compraría al sucesor real del Defender.... El INEOS GRENADIER...
Wow! I've been there man. Stuck and having to walk out is the worst. But some Super Swampers or most any mud terrain tire would've gotten him through that mud hole. Plus he did the worst thing you can do in a mud hole, he said woe. You never say woe in a mud hole.
@@Trapper50cal Hehe of course, the 70 Series being special because it's still made today! Very few vehicles that are almost 40 years old are still produced. I'd also say that the Land Cruiser Prado belongs together with its bigger brother.
Surprise surprise the Toyota guys always have to bash whether it’s on a jeep or Land Rover get over yourselves It’s funny because you don’t see the jeep or the Land Rover guys bashing cause when you got the best you don’t go to criticize 😊 by the way I love Toyota’s too!
The 110's were actually sold in the US in very limited numbers alongside the 90. They came with many more luxury features than european defenders but were all white with matching steelies
He's talking about differential locks on the axles between the tires not locking the front and rear drive shaft together in the transfer case all that does that you're mentioning is make it go for wheel drive instead of all wheel drive. He's talking about actual lockers front and rear lockers LOL. You need to learn what differential locks are. A transfer case lock is not a differential lock. Every single four-wheel-drive vehicle that goes into four-wheel drive has the transfer case locked when it does so this is just Land Rovers way of making an all-wheel-drive go into 4-wheel drive that has no lockers on it front or rear no Land Rovers to accept some new ones have a rear Locker optional
Wait a minute where did those trees pop up from hen he ent back for the defender ? He was stuck in some mud with no tree round the car and when he went back there were trees covering the car.
A Japanese car is safer than a British car. This is acceptable. But as a 25-year RRC user, the only thing I know is that the Range Rover Classic is the most successful off-road vehicle of the Land Rover group. As long as it is used by the right user...
What an epic film! There's something about the defender. Having spent some time in these during my days in military, I can honestly say that these are huge turds in many ways. BUT still, I want one.
Well Ryan has started the story like Doug The... Doug. Range Rover MkI have used not only petrol engines. There were fitted diesel engines like: 2.4 112 KM VM TD,2.5 119 KM VM TD,2.5 111 KM 200TDi TD,2.5 111 KM 300TDi TD. Those engines were with manual 4/5 gear and 3/4 gear automatic transmission... Both cars are great vehicles... There is a lot of history... Defender is like onsee that you are wearing to work. It's like a work horse. Whilst Range Rover MkI is like a suit, when you are going to the theatre or supper. It can be the other way around😉, thoug. Thanks .
Hum... I did drive a II gen RR but only on highway or on small roads and never off road, however the 1st gen with manual transmission in the early 80s at least in Venezuela, we had a 'differential lock' most likely you would have come out of that with no problem in that situation, it was the 3rd lever on the column, I used it exactly in those situations when your rear axle slips and then your front one too, well time to pull up the "magic lever" often miss-understood... Pulled several heavier vehicle with that feature stuck deep in the mud or on banks, never failed... Granted it was a corporate maintained RR :) great ride! fantastic visibility and too bad here the 5speed never came... that overdrive is really handy... 100 mph on highway that small block V8 purring along, the only noise is the trans, but what a trans! the real off road deal when you need it! Don't know if the II gen had it, but very important for stability is that "mono shock" suspension on top of the real axle, if that is warned out, your Range is going to wobble especially above 60 mph, otherwise very stable vehicle! really fun to drive and the engine sound will perk w 5.0 drivers :)
My 1986 RR has diff lock next to the auto gear lever. Like you said I was surprised he did not use it in the video. Also your remarks about the V8 engine purring is a heartfelt experience that I look forward to everyday I use mine driving to and from work. Most issues with the RR are electrical but once you sort them out it is as reliable as anything else on the track.
Wrong within the first three minutes. Land Rover Series where not first designed for the millitary, but as "working horse" for farms. the millitary use came later...
Congratulations on a thoroughly entertaining video!!! One minor point - the RRC (auto, like this one) does in fact come with “lockers” in the form of a viscous coupling to lock the diff.
He's talking about differential locks on the axles not the transfer case making it four-wheel drive or not LOL I hate when people call those lockers lockers are in between your tires a transfer case lock just makes it go from all-wheel drive to four-wheel drive and that will do nothing four side to side wheel spin
I was responsible for tooling approval of Land Rover V8 block and head and storm TD5 head before going into production reporting all dimensional deviations from Engineering tolerances from 92 to 05 for V8 and td5 from 95ish to 05.
Overall this is a great little production. It's a shallow but enjoyable introduction to classic LRs. Cotton candy if you will. I am sure the videographer meant well, but there's some cringey theatrics here, the most obvious being the slow, sharp turn in a bog to get the RRC stuck. There's also a number of inaccuracies. That's the problem with being so into a car though, it can ruin an otherwise enjoyable film!
music and aerial footage in this one is ... perfect.
Hagerty absolutely killing it lately. Hope they keep it up and dont pull a M/T on us...
This and MotorWeek is the good stuff in the car magazine video world.
By killing it.... you mean...... putting it together?

There is an eternal soft spot in my heart for a range classic and a defender. I will have one of each one day

That Range Rover Classic just looks perfect. It was absolutely crushing it on those trails. Now I might have to go looking for one.
Take care of that Range Rover, they are going way up in value.
The range rover classic is so much cooler because it would hold its own with a jeep and then do 80 home on the freeway in bliss like a doctor.

Holy hell how does this not have more views?!Incredible video!
Thank you! The best thing you can do to help me is share with friends. Would love for the right groups to see this!
There's just something about a white car covered in mud...! top notch production.
As the owner of a ‘95 LWB, I would have appreciated the video more if he could have simply reversed it and tried a bit more momentum. I’ve been in deeper and still come out. Although I guess every Land Rover vid needs some drama these days...
Also that's why they had air suspension you pressed a button and hey presto you're unstuck
Loved this, cracking footage and story.
Thank you! Tried to add some story in there to give you more than just a car review.

Really enjoyed that and I'm not even into mud plugging, great, well, everything! 👍👍
Driving over that ice looks so satisfying
It was so cool to see the video of that at first! I was really excited.
Since you mentioned the Wagoneer, we are going to need a video on the OG American Luxury SUV, the Jeep Wagoneer (SJ 1962 -1991). Excellent video BTW.
best video on rovers,,,bravo young man !!!!
This production quality is amazing
I love this model of Land Rover more than the new one because i will not get sad to to go to the deep mud
Great video and good see them being used properly too.
Worth watching just to see the 110 & hear that diesel startup!
Fantastic Video!!!❤❤❤
What did I miss? Your pant legs looked pretty dry and clean when you got to the Defender. I had a Series IIA. Loved it!

Man, I will subscribe to your channel just for this video. Probably won't watch any of your stuff apart from that, but you have deserved it!
You just got the wrong tires in the Rangy for this. Try using the same stuff on the Defender. AND a winch wouldn't bother either.
Incorrect about the diff lockers. The viscous coupling automatically detects it.

Great job Ryan!
the springs almost look too stiff. stock setup was softer and didnt throw you around.
Wait a minute where did those trees pop up from hen he ent back for the defender ? He was stuck in some mud with no tree round the car and when he went back there were trees covering the car.
A Japanese car is safer than a British car. This is acceptable. But as a 25-year RRC user, the only thing I know is that the Range Rover Classic is the most successful off-road vehicle of the Land Rover group. As long as it is used by the right user...
A true off road driver knows where to keep his/her thumbs on the steering wheel.
What a fabulous video!!!
rave all yo want about petrol off-roaders
diesel is where the fun and the real off-roading power is at
The winch is just there for form. 🤣😂🤣😂
What an epic film!
There's something about the defender. Having spent some time in these during my days in military, I can honestly say that these are huge turds in many ways. BUT still, I want one.
The first Land Rover in the camel trophy was the Land Rover Series 3
Well Ryan has started the story like Doug The... Doug.
Range Rover MkI have used not only petrol engines. There were fitted diesel engines like: 2.4 112 KM VM TD,2.5 119 KM VM TD,2.5 111 KM 200TDi TD,2.5 111 KM 300TDi TD.
Those engines were with manual 4/5 gear and 3/4 gear automatic transmission...
Both cars are great vehicles... There is a lot of history... Defender is like onsee that you are wearing to work.
It's like a work horse. Whilst Range Rover MkI is like a suit, when you are going to the theatre or supper.
It can be the other way around😉, thoug. Thanks .
Hum... I did drive a II gen RR but only on highway or on small roads and never off road, however the 1st gen with manual transmission in the early 80s at least in Venezuela, we had a 'differential lock' most likely you would have come out of that with no problem in that situation, it was the 3rd lever on the column, I used it exactly in those situations when your rear axle slips and then your front one too, well time to pull up the "magic lever" often miss-understood... Pulled several heavier vehicle with that feature stuck deep in the mud or on banks, never failed...
