The Overland Legend

In this video, I talk to a Land Rover Guru Owen Walton and he shows us around his workshop as he shares some of his many Land Rover secrets. Owen has been driving and rebuilding Land Rovers for over 60 years. He is the oldest surviving member of the Land Rover Owners Club of Southern Africa. Hands-on experience rebuilding over 30 different classic Land Rovers from early 80" Series 1s to custom built Jaguar powered 6x6 Series 3 and Forward controls. He owned a rare Stage 1 V8 and one of the first Range Rovers in South Africa.

I feel overwhelmed with my little projects, and this gentleman has restored 31! 🤯
Thanks for this Allan.👍
a wealth of knowledge... and a good friend to my old man
A Gentleman I know has just started a YouTube channel. Michael Green is the Northern California Land Rover guru, and has a shop in Livermore, Ca. He also does race preps on MGs, Triumphs, and old Jaguars. He is a real character and knows his stuff. Check him out if your interested.
Cheers my friend.
