Jack Dobson (@Dobbo_Down_Under) on 8-spokes, V8s and restoring an 80in Series I

In this week's very special episode, long-term LRM contributor Jack Dobson is over from Australia and joins Steve and Martin for a chat about the similarities and differences between Land Rover scenes in the UK and Australia.

Jack talks us through his fleet of Series Land Rovers – the majority of which are V8-powered – and tells the tale of how his beloved Series IIA got stolen and reacquainted with him two whole years after it went missing.

There's also chat about his mission to restore an 80-inch Series I, including the judgement from some of the more niche chapters of the Land Rover world, and how his choice of paint colour was a not-so-subtle jibe at these attitudes.

The gang get distracted by a 130 with a cage on the back, and Jack discloses some of his favourite and most-hated mods for a Series Land Rover.

As always, we love to get your questions and feedback, so don't be shy – drop us an email on editorial@lrm.co.uk and let your voice be heard.
