    SNX891, the Oxford motor, is still going strong. I saw it at a few Land Rover shows last year. Sympathetically restored but maintaining all of it's patina!

      It’s a shame that the Cambridge Land Rover no longer exists.

      She’s more than going strong, she retraced the original route starting in Singapore and after a slight mishap with a wheel baring she made it back to London

    My father, Trevor Webster and Alan Taylor did London to Sydney in 2 Morris 8s in 1958 with their wives and me as an 18 month old baby, same roads and same time line and never got this coverage.

    Nothing quite like a bit of mechanicking in the middle of a river to keep the show on the road 😂👍🏻

    15 miles in two hours? Still quicker than driving across London!

    At 00:20 how did they come up with the "more than 18000 miles by Land rover"? According to Google it is about 7000 miles.

      @@DynamicLearning4u Yes I know the steering is abit vague on old Land Rovers but the maths do not add up.

      Google does not capture the old road. And the old days most of the road not straight. its an abandoned road & road for logging activities
