**Thanks For Watching This Video** - Авто та транспорт
While watching the opening, my wife asked from another room "Are you watching a church service?"
"Close, but its more of a cult than a religion." I replied
We all poor souls praise the Gig Green Oval overlord to bless us with a fault free week.
Ha! the exact same thing just happened to me. With a similar response from me! HAHA
I'm excited for a guy who I've never met who lives halfway around the world buying an old used car. I'm not sure what that means about me but congrats, Andrew!
Same here! So glad he got a good looking one 👏🏾👏🏾
Same here. Very excited.
You're living vicariously through the Authors adventure,, as I 🤪💯.
Your probably a stalker, who has fantasies of old men.....🤣😂
Same!
Andrew, this is the way. Overland travel has gotten out of hand. It’s lost it’s touch with history and the nostalgia that made it beautiful. Having an older vehicle that takes planning and worry makes the trip more authentic and adds just enough chance! Good on ya!
I couldn't agree more!
You're absolutely right about that!!!
I know just what you mean. I did a trip to Uluru in 1987 in a Subaru Brumby ute , just over 2,535 km and it was bloody wonderful, the fact I spent 10 days stuck at Alice Springs waiting for a new gearbox to arrive only made it better.
Am not a car person, but somehow I am emotionally invested in this story😄
Congratulations, she looks great. I’m sure you will enjoy building a new chapter of Range Rover memories 👍
I’m enjoying your build an obscene amount.... my wife loves hearing your voice too
Aren't brothers supposed to prank each other in situations like this?
I felt every single bit of emotion you felt from the anxiety of waiting to your happiness when on the video call with your brother. Couldn't be anymore delighted for you Andrew, this is going to be a brilliant series, although it could be a relatively short one considering the Classic looks to be in brilliant condition!
The music in this vid is PERFECT!!! From the opening tunes (giving real feeling /meaning to the nostalgia that the images are provoking). Land of our Fathers also a good touch. Well done, Andrew
Watching the recent Range Rover videos and seeing Andrew’s emotions stirs up the same in me. I drove and worked on a TR4 in high school and college, and sold it at a weak point when I couldn’t afford the time or expense of doing engine work in my apartment parking stall as a student. I’ve regretted that day for the past 30+ years, and have searched for my car unsuccessfully. I’ve been stuck with boring cars since then, but just picked up my first British car again, this time a different animal in an LR3, and am planning some great adventures in it. Andrew, just watching the emotions in your face and body language, we could be brothers. If someone has never had this type of connection to and love for a vehicle, they could rightfully wonder how a guy talking about his vehicle could make the same emotions well up in someone else across the world. Well done, and keep up the fine work.
I fully understand you Andrew, is not a car, is a mate , a respected colleague. Very few people understand that. Congratulations. Looking forward to seeing you driving home
Bloody well said.
This sent shivers up my spine I live in North Wales The land of my farther my mother and all who came before I also have a 1971 Range Rover only 2 owners me being the second
and I have driven my car over similar torain its now in a barn covered up and just crying out to be re commisioned which I will do before I die that's a promise to the old girl
I have pictures somewhere of the old girl climbing similar hills and fords etc This will confirm the need to get going and put her back where she belongs am I sad or am I sad ??
thanks so much for the up load I just love these old cars as I honestly love the old girl I have owned for over 37 years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
37 years? I'm very envious! I have had my P38 for only 18. Much better drive than a Classic, but I wish I hadn't had to sell the last Classic I owned.
I would give this a thousand likes purely because of the gorgeous choral music at the top.
Me too.
Oh, I bet you it has that lovely old car smell too!! Very nice!!
I'm not sure I've seen ASPW so passionate about any previous vehicle.
Really, really looking forward to the build and (especially) the trip back to Perth.
Happiness is an RRC and Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference! Well met Andrew!
When you finished with the folder, I could hear the passion In your voice and the fact it was your father’s I heard you well up and emotional, ❤️
Andrew I hope this message finds you well. I was born in 1960 and when I watch these videos they evoke memories and thoughts that amazingly are so deeply ingrained in me. It's amazing how the more mechanical, then electrical older vehicles promoted an honesty and a respect for physics and our ability to travel in such a manner. Also with the right skills you could maintain your vehicle en route, and not to have a bunch of guys and lab coats show up with computers to get your vehicle running again. Ie the new defender 110??. What an insult to the heritage. The fact that you are intrigued by vehicles like this older range Rover, brings out your authentic character. Which I greatly respect. Cheers Mike.
I can see you still have that Land Rover passion Andrew, it never leaves!
None of your build has excited me as much as this one. I am watching it with keen eye and wishing you the best.
While watching the video, my heart speeded up by moments even if it is not gonna be my car. I remember the Range Rover Classic that I owned very well. Ones you drove a Range Rover Classic, you don't want anything else any more. Best Regards from Belgium, David
I am getting quite emontional. It is like a long lost friend is finaly coming back to you, and the two of you can continue the adventure together again after all this time. I can see it in your eyes, feel the nostalgia in my heart, and it is a beautiful thing. Pure passion is what it is, and that is what it is all about. All the best from Birger Fatland in Norway
Finally picked up another land rover other day the price and mileage was insane same worries days after buying it but UK Land Rover with little to no bad rust is a miracle
I just love the history in your videos. Building the off road vehicles is very cool, and interesting. I have learned from your experiences, and I am very very grateful for your past hardships! However... the storytelling and history is really what gets me. Modern vehicles-even my 2004 Discovery-have such advanced features.... us kids nowadays don't even know how easy we have it, most of the time. Thank you for sharing, Sir.
That looks a great RRC Andrew! So pleased for you on your return to the Land Rover fold. 👍🏻
Congratulations Andrew. This will be a great project. I know how you feel. Keep up the good work.
I was excited as you when I saw Simon with the car and driving it.Looks absolutely great.Looking forward to more Range Rover Classic chronicles
I can't wait for the next video 🙂
You at you, giddy like a kid - thanks for the insight, really looking forward to this.
Such an elegant and adorable design,it enchanted me as a child,father had a 1972 and used for visiting Tea plantations in west Africa,later had a Tuscan Blue 1976.The passion led to working for Land Rover years on.
I remember my parents having the last of the two door Range Rovers... I loved it as a kid. Seeing yours Andrew (even though it is an earlier one) brings back memories. Thank you.
For me, this is the most interesting project so far, absolutely riveting
Andrew is acting like an expectant father, it's so awesome! :)
That is a beautiful RRC - congratulations. An epic journey on the horizon
Andrew - after watching/experiencing things with you for so many years I/we all have such a connection. Seeing the vehicle, your family, and thinking not only of your story with a Range Rover, but your Dad's. It brings a lump to the throat. Pretty awesome. Congrats and thank you. By far one of your best (non travelling) videos, the emotional investment it creates. Well done.
Ben Johnson
Can’t wait to see it driving around Perth, I’m looking at buying another one as well
What a gorgeous love story this is. Five Stars!
In 2016 I bought my 2011 FJ Cruiser just like this. I knew exactly what I wanted and couldn't find one anywhere close. Bought it based on pictures, had it shipped, I'm still driving and loving it. Just turned 80K miles 👍👍
It looks very nice, Andrew. I'm excited to watch the progress and hear the stories. Thankyou for the inspiration.
What amazing video!! Thank you for sharing such an experience with us!!
Congratulations Andrew! I mostly quietly lurk and watch. Range Rovers aren’t my thing but your passion and enthusiasm makes it fun.
This story is like a Meerlust Rubicon. Just getting better and better. I’m hooked.
Love it....love to see how excited you are about this project...I bet you can't wait to go pick it up....Very good👍
Thank you Andrew for your enthusiasm and passionate...it is very infectious sir.
I watch your channel because you know your stuff but I’ve never really been that invested. This though makes my heart sing.
I’ve been waiting with bated breath for this one. Great video! I’m excited to see you in it.
Hi Andrew! I've been a subscriber for 4 years now. I have to say, the series about the source of Okavango, and the Canning Stock are my absolute favorite! The scenery, the colour, the sounds...we can almost smell it!! However, I look like a little boy on Christmas eve, waiting to see this Range Rover, and it's not even mine... I'm bursting with anxiety and joy, and a little jealous I must say.
Well done Sir!! Hope you send us, again, on a great adventure!
Let the Patina continue to tell the story. Don’t respray it! Add more war scars and stories.
Its not patina really just someone polishing it too much and having the aluminium exposed won't do it any good
Some see that story as one of neglect.
Really happy for you Andrew, best of luck with it.
I love you Andrew. Your skills as a film maker shine through. Only you could make an old guy, buying an old car, seem emotional and exciting, I loved it, and I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story. I'm older than you by the way, didn't want the old guy bit to upset you.
That brought back a feeling i had waiting to pick up my first car, waited all day for my brother to come get me he was running late I was beside myself with anxiety. Good video cheers mate.

Congratulations Andrew. Enjoy your new 4x4. So looking forward to the rest of the project.
You look like you are waiting for your first grand daughter LOL , happy for you .
Congratulations on your new RR. Reminds me so much of my first which was an early K reg. looking forward to seeing the journey back home 😃😃
Dear Andrew, I simply forgot how amazing those cars were in the old days. One of my favorite model cars as a child was this type of Range Rover in the colors of the Dutch Highway Police. Never could afford a real one though and I guess the will never happen with the current prices. Congratulations with a wonderful buy and I am certainly going to follow the rest of the story, best of luck, regards Jan
Lovely, can’t wait to see the up coming trips.
The love in your eyes whilst looking can not be confused with any other thought oh how I just get this vid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Andrew. A fine fine Land Rover. What a prize!
That is a beauty! You landed good on that one! If I didn't have a Series 1 to rebuild, I'd say fly me over... Love an old Rangie!
Truly exciting, taking the risk for the experience. I am in a similar situation; I bought an FJ45 (impulse buy!) unseen in Australia while I am stuck in the US. I have stored the car for a year. Finally, the body works begin next week. Not making vlogs is something I’ll regret later.
Beautifully done. Honest, to the point and painfully familiar to anyone at least slightly interested in what he's buying.
Love it ! Good to see something different. Can’t wait for the forthcoming episodes.
Absolutely fantastic opening sequence. Brilliant!
Love it, had my 1978 white Range Rover (WMX 580S) for many years then let her go. I have never stopped wanting her back the best driving companion every so I know how you feel.
Edge of my seat this whole vid.
Awesome score Andrew!
Love the excitement and enthusiasm. Congratulations
This is absolutely fantastic! I love the classic Range Rovers! I can’t wait to see it in your driveway! I had a 5th gen 4Runner TRD OR a few months ago, and I already miss it terribly. I will be getting another in about 6 months that’s for sure.
I found the emotion that this video transmits is VERY powerful and should come with a health warning! A credit to your ability at createing and editing. Looking forward to your journey.
Beautiful thing!! I'd drive that as is & work on it at home personally as it will definitely make it, as Range Rovers do. The range, as you've guessed it, will be fine too so one less thing to worry about 😀
What an amazing storyteller and filmmaker!
So looking forward to this adventure, a beautiful car
I am so invested in this series.
Good luck with this new challenge. I hope with every mile stone you make on this restoration get a deeper inner peace good luck with this adventure.
Ohh exciting stuff, can't wait for your trip :)
Congratulation Andrew your RR looks great and I agree its the most desirable motorcar ever. My oncle got one of the first ones in Iceland. I tryed hard to persuade my parents to get one, but did not succeed. It was really a revolution. Extremely capable off road and the best car to drive fast on gravel roads. My brother had a tan 76 and we exchanged engines in that one in a weekend by sliding the car about under a fixed hoist. A friend had a dark green 78 or 79. I had a 85 2Door auto and loved it. Still miss it. The nicest ride on a bad road I have ever driven. Only the Defender comes close but does not have the great view from the drivers seat.
Smashing vehicle, so happy for you. I must apologize because I know you were in agony waiting on the call but I had to laugh at your fidgeting about. Happy travels!
Andrew, this was a really brilliant video. My wife was reminiscing about her dad’s Range Rover. I’ve never had one, but had a 200tdi Discovery that shared the running gear. I just know that I am going to be losing evenings on auto trader again😀 Can’t wait to see the video of the journey home.
Nothing like an Old Saddle !!!!!!!!!!!
Some Tool those Range Rovers !!!!!!!!!- Power to Weight Ration is a lot to do with their Off Road Success combined with all that Fluid Coil Spring Suspension that carrys you over in style and with Aplomb.
We've used them pulling Stranded Artics, Bogged 6 wheel Tippers, Bogged Caravans off beaches !!. Phenomenal piece o Kit !!!! and Best Range Rovers ever produced - A REAL HARD ACT TO FOLLOW !!!!!!!!!
A Car for All Seasons and A Car for All Reasons.
TOP CHARIOT
Beautiful Classic!
So bloody excited for you mate !!
Very happy for you. Thanks for the videos. Hello from Alabama.
Good Luck, on taking her home!!! LR’s are the best.
here at 2am in the morning my notification bell goes off and here is your video on the RRC and i sat up grabbed a water sat dow n to watch it, your anticipation is just a little noticeable ,LOL, it reminded me of my own experience buying my first new car when i was 20 yrs old, bated breath as one here described, i felt a bit the same as you , its funny to see your expression when your brother did the walk around it and you said these are all so familiar to you and your grind from ear to ear, this is like a mistress coming back into your life in a way ,LOL, you'll walk around it with that look in your eye and that smirk on your face obsessing over it while working on it < i know i have been their and have been accused of spending more time cleaning, working on and maintaining my car than with the girlfriend at that time, who i lost which was no loss, Gosh I'm only 20 once for petes sake , RRC Gwen will roll her eyes at you at some point and understand in her own way , then smile as you fuss over it, I think the only thing i do know of these is the gear boxes were quirky as i heard from the mechanic that worked at the Volvo dealership i worked at some 35 yrs ago, he loved Volvos , he was 1 of a few Rover ,Landrover certified mechanics in the province i lived in and had quite a following of customers who came to us because he worked there and he only did top notch work and fitted a salvaged 5 speed transmission from a later model and the customer was very pleased to able to say he now got some reasonable fuel economy and could hold a conversation with his wife more easily on the highway driving to their cottage each weekend in the summertime , I understand your excitement and relief in the grand sceam of things, this will be a very interesting series to watch and I am about to venture forth on my own similar adventure CHEERS Andrew 👍
Congratulations my friend
There was something holy about the intro to this video. Thankfully ASPW brought me back out of the clouds with the Monty Python reference!
Very cool. She’s gorgeous. Exciting new project for the channel!
I feel like this is what I saw in my neighborhood growing up in Ireland. Now here I am in Hawaii surrounded by jeeps and Toyota’s
That is a beautiful RR. Well done. Enjoy.
01:28 Later models of the Range Rover came with APCLKA (Active Parking Control and Lane Keeping Assist)!
My Jeep comes with "CPBFLWA" (Complete Parking Brake Failure and Lane Wandering Assist)
This one comes with APDLWA. Active Parking Difficulty and Lane Wandering Assist
@@Dwealdric Mine has TDWS (Terminal Death Wobble Syndrome)!
Excellent parking in front of the castle 🤏🏻
Looks like Buckingham palace.
I have a very similar story. 6months ago I purchased the same model car I learn to drive in. 1987 single cab 4x4 Hilux sight unseen and had it shipped from QLD to NSW. Very much felt the same way, they can tell you it’s great but you don’t know until you know. I’m currently undecided with the restoration, it’s all original, drives great. Not sure if I clear coat over the patina or restore to new. Good luck Drew, I’m sure she will provide you with some great content and memories. 👍🏽
very excited for you looks like an honest car, congratulations Andrew...cheers from kuwait
Congratulations Andrew!
What a gem!! Congrats.
amazing car, its just looks good as it is , well for traveling i would just use it at first like this, all those time markers are great.
Andrew I'm truly happy for you. Glad it was in good shape. Darin near mt Rainier.
I’ve been watching the channel for a few years now, but never had car envy, until now.
Hi Andrew...you've made smile from ear to ear, that was the same as I was awaiting my first 90...the one with the 2.5 d...it had just come via the British Army and like you Andrew I was walking around like an expectant Father too!
Your RR looks lovely, I am truly envious of you again 😌
Andrew to the best of my recollection, the mirrors for 1976 were still on the bonnet. Also the one he has on the door is not the correct mirror. But all that can be sorted out, very excited for you, I went through the same emotions that you are going through. By the way, my father had the very first Range Rover that ever came to Iran. He saw the car driving down the road and stopped him to see what the car was. He was a geologist from England and sold the car to my dad after he went back to England 2 months later....Sahara Beige
Australian delivered cars never had the bonnet mirrors.
@@element271 Yeah, that's the thing. Expect Australian cars to have different specifications to meet local regulations, perhaps like the mirrors and head restraints, or to get some sort of local content to push back on the horrendous import duties that were in force at the time.
@@steved3702 this vehicle is an Australian delivered car as per the Leyland badge on the scuttle
@@element271 Yeah. Was any of the assembly local? Perhaps not, meaning Leyland would have been burning up local content credit gained on other models. Given the premium price, this may have also reflected the lack of local content.
Get nervous there with you. Also don't like to wait. Looking forward to see what you will be doing with the vehicle. Regards,
I'm very happy for you. I hope to own another classic similar to yours
looking forward to the trip!
