The new Range Rover represents the culmination of decades-worth of off-roading experience wrapped up in a raised limousine body and filled with electronic gizmos and leather. That is all good and does genuinely represent progress, but for some, pushing a button is nowhere near as satisfying as pulling a lever and getting that mechanical feeling going – you actually feel like you’re doing something.

If you are into that, and off-roading in general, do stick around, because we found a two-part Land Rover instructional video which teaches drivers of the Series I and II models how to properly operate the vehicle, coupled with general driving tips so that you don’t get stuck.

We don’t know the exact age of the video, it’s definitely very old and quite grainy – that may also have something to do with it being uploaded more than four years ago, when the general quality of videos was lower.

Scroll down and click play on both parts, and amuse yourself at the comments the narrator makes towards the end of video two (don’t skip to it, though), as well as his general humorous tone and perspective you will sense throughout.
