The Last Overland - TV Series
This is a TV series covering the trip from Singapore to London of a 64 year old series 1 Land Rover (called Oxford). This was one of the pair (the other was called Cambridge) that did the journey from London to Singapore 64 years before.
If you are in the UK it is straightforward to watch - it is on Channel 4. For those outside this sceptred isle then you will need a VPN. Anyway here is the link.
If you want to pick fault with it then yes, there was a support crew in two modern Land Rovers, a doctor / mechanic / umpteen camera crew and support staff sorting out the paperwork side. On the other hand one of the people was a member of the original team that took the two Land Rovers to Singapore in the first place and he was 87.
