Richard Hammond on the greatest barn find of all time

This is exactly how automaker marketing budgets should be spent. Kudos to everyone involved, drivetribe and hamster included, of course.

I love that they didn’t restore it to show quality. They did just enough to bring it back to life but left all the imperfections that it had earned from its long hard life.

This video seriously feels like it's a film off Top Gear or the Grand Tour. One of those what us proper car lovers really really enjoy watching. Top work everyone!

The older Landrovers are the most solid 4-wheeler I ever drove to do ranch work. I towed 600# to 700# dead cow carcasses up & down steep hilly terrains of the ranch without any strain to the engine or clutch. But, the only problem was that, first and reverse gears were really close, so you had to be aware of the shifting pattern. You may think you’re in first gear, but you may be in reverse gear and if you throttle it? Well, my cousin found out and luckily the dead carcass of a cow was already dead when he ran over it! One thing I have to mention is that the Landrover belonged to Charles Lindbergh the Aviator, who happened to live on the Eastside of Maui back in the 70’s and he was our neighbor, he took ill and died that summer of 1974. He was the nicest man you could ever meet.

I love how they kept the car's original purpose: to go adventure. I'm really happy with that.

Love this storytelling. Reminds me of the old Top Gear days....bravo, team!

That’s amazing, I love that they took Jue on a road trip instead of just making it a museum piece. Congrats to everyone who worked on it and was a part of all of it !!

As an American, I can't help but seeing the Willys Jeep heritage in this car. Its nice to see the it restored and actually being used instead of a museum piece. Nicely done.

That wasn’t a restoration..that was giving that Landy it’s soul again. great job.

I love the fact that instead of a museum. It went on a real road trip. Too many of these are restored and hidden away.

I have so much respect for reviving it the way it was and then going on such an adventure with it. I would gladly watch every second of a dry, boring, 24 1-hour episodes series detailing the restoration.

I drove my first 4x4 when I was 9 years old. It was a 1949 Willey’s pickup, standard transmission. I fell in love with 4 wheeling!

Always love some Hammond car journalism. His piece on Jim Clark with the Hacksaw Ridge music was especially excellent

This has to be one of the BEST videos Drivetribe has done so far 🤩. Very much enjoyed this and Hammond as always.

"They don't make them like they used too" a phrase really that rings true for the Land Rover.

Respect to all those involved in the resurrection of JUE 477 and undertaking it's remarkable journey. I thank Hammond and Drive Tribe for bringing us the story. Love you guys!

More tribute videos like this! This feels like an episode right out of the old top gear and grand tour format. Love it.

The fact that at the end they used the same music to show Richard in the Grenadier as they did to send off the Ford Cortina in the final episode of the Grand Tour really speaks to the importance of this car to Richard.

This is a ridiculously cool story

A remarkable restoration that breathes new life into a timeless legend.
