The Best of Land Rover Volume 2
A compilation of classic original promotional films from the Land Rover Archives re-mastered for DVD.
The Best of Land Rover Volume 1 is also available.
Rover Review (1957/58) (12 minutes)
This 'newsreel'-style film takes us to the Solihull factory where we can join in a 'Point to Point' with the Land-Rover Owners' Club and then meet the Duke of Edinburgh. For those of a military inclination, NATO put on a splendid display for our benefit and finally we can watch Land Rovers rain from the skies alongside crack parachute troops.
Land-Rover Ability (1969) (15 minutes)
Land Rover comes of age at twenty-one years old. How better to celebrate than by testing its abilities to the limit across the most rugged landscape which can be found. Among the unusual feats demonstrated are an impressive display of firefighting and how to dangle from a military helicopter during transport.
Overland to the Lost World (1959) (23 minutes)
Land Rover once again demonstrates its adventurous nature, this time in South America. The expedition is led by Adrian Cowell, who also headed the 'First Overland' expedition to Singapore. The joint Oxford and Cambridge University team starts off in Guyana to follow a little used cattle trail on a gruelling circular tour of the sub-continent..
