The Big Ambition Underway
From Brisbane (Aus) to Birmingham (UK):
A 30,000km+ Series 2 Overland Expedition
After a 26-month full frame-off restoration and 1,800km of local shakedown testing around South East Queensland, we officially set off on our dream journey in our restored 1960 Series 2 Land Rover. Armed with dynamic spare parts, a tool roll, and endless optimistic determination, we are out on the open road putting the Landy to the ultimate global test.
We are currently driving our 1960 Series 2, ex-Vietnam War Land Rover (Australian Army Registration Number ARN 111-387) on the ultimate overland homecoming. Having departed our home base in Brisbane, Australia, we are trekking north via Western Australia to Darwin, island-hopping through Indonesia into South East Asia, traversing China and Central Asia, and pushing across Europe. The ultimate end goal: driving this -year-old Land Rover right back to the original factory gates in Birmingham, UK, where she rolled off the line in 1960.
"Portable battery-powered air-con, -year-old leaf suspension, a home-built engine, and a navigator who is literally full of hot air (that's Peanut the cat). What could possibly go wrong?"
