The Last Overland expedition team started their journey from Singapore
to London yesterday (25th August 2019). The team aims to recreate
the original 1955 route charted by The Oxford & Cambridge Far Eastern
Expedition (The First Overland).
The team of eight, including Nat George, grandson of Tim Slessor
(a member of The First Overland), and Singaporean Larry Leong,
will drive the original 1955 ‘Oxford’ Land Rover Series I used in The
First Overland. On an expedition to return ‘Oxford’ to its home in the UK,
the team was flagged off from the start line at the Singapore
F1 Pit Building in Marina Bay, and now, they are in Kuala Lumpur
for a short stopover. Next is onward to Cameron Highlands to visit other Land Rovers (Cameron Highlands has the most number of Land Rovers in the region), then Penang and onwards. The whole trip is estimated to take 100 days.
This short video will focus on the Land Rover Series I - a beautiful
machine with its original paintwork or now, its fantastic patina.
