Kind of the opposite of our article last week about the Singpore To UK In A Willys , we now have some videos about a group of two Land Rovers travelling from London to Singapore. Enjoy!
Note: If you are reading this via email or Facebook, you may have to to go Off Road Action to view the videos.

Now this is just plain awesome! I am not sure if this RHD Land Rover has been restored or not, but what a beauty! Look at the hand crank for the front winch! Wow…can you imagine trying to pull someone out with that? Via…

Lately we have featured some interesting overland travel articles such as Shank Family trips across the southwestern deserts in their Willys and teardrop trailer and the Willys trip from Brazil to Alaska. Now we have an even more unbelievable trip from 1953. Check out the extremely well documented trip from England to Rhodesia in Africa. The story follows a family of four as they leave their homeland and travel across Africa in their Land Rover. My favourite quote is “An official statement issued by the British Foreign Office in December 1947 declared that ‘it is sheer folly to attempt the Trans-Sahara journey without adequate knowledge and resources’. ”

I found this over at FireEnginePhotos.com again. Check them out..they have all kinds of awesome photos of old fire trucks. This is a 1960 (3991 PX) Landrover L4L (Landrover 4wd/Ladder) which when new went to Midhurst Fire Station,Station 19 of the West Sussex Fire Brigade in one of the most rural parts of the county.Origanally delivered when new in red, this appliance like many others during the early 1970′s in the brigade were to get this new yellow colour livery. This Landrover was in service with the brigade for some 20years before being replaced in 1980 with another Landrover.This Landrover (3991 PX) has now been completely restored back to its yellow livery of the 1970′s period in the brigade,and is now privately owned.
