    How is Brian's wave any different to anyone else's, is it a bit Regal like or limp wrist-ed perchance, maybe a Defender Wave?


    I love those old fillums & the commentary, the Wilkes lads certainly didn't realise what a winner they were on.

    Thanks Paul,( or is it Brian this week?)

    Had a good laugh at the comment about the outback being no place for finicky vehicles,or those that demand complicated maintenance.

    How things have changed in 60yrs.

    The change seems to have happened as long ago as the 1960s. I have two Series 2a Owner's manuals. First one is dated 1962, and has 124 pages, including a foldout maintenance schedule and a diagram of exactly where all the maintenance points are, and detailed maintenance instructions.

    The 1970 version has 44 pages, including a four page 'Service Guide' - which spends four pages explaining in detail why all maintenance should be carried out by the dealer. It also has seven introductory pages (title pages contents etc) before any content, compared to three pages in the earlier one.

    It also mentioned that there were 700 LR on the job. No wonder they were on long waiting List for Private buyers!

    I understood it was an 8 part Series.

    Yes, it was the end of the first part I saw on Wednesday night. I'll catch up online.

    The 700 Land Rovers on the scheme over the years is mentioned earlier in this thread I think.
