The Big Ambition
From Brisbane (Aus) to Birmingham (UK):
A 30,000km+ Series 2 Overland Expedition
After a 26-month full frame-off restoration, we've clocked up 1,800km testing our restored 1960 Series 2 Land Rover around South East Queensland. With only 4 mechanical breakdowns and 3 tow trucks so far, we have crunched the numbers and decided the Landy is officially ready for something... radical.
In 2027, we are taking our 1960 Series 2, ex-Vietnam War, Land Rover (Australian Army Registration Number ARN 111-387) on the ultimate overland homecoming. We will be driving from our home base in Brisbane (Australia) heading north via Western Australia and Darwin, then island-hopping through Indonesia into South East Asia. From there, we will drive north through China and Central Asia before heading into Europe. The final leg will be driving this -year-old Land Rover back to the original factory in Birmingham, UK, where she was built 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?"
When do we Leave ?
