John spotted this video. There aren’t any jeeps, but there is some off road action in 1930s Fords. A fun video to watch.

“This evocative film from the early 1930s takes the viewer on a journey from Land’s End to John O’Groats, giving them to opportunity to see all manner of Ford vehicles from that period in action. This includes Ford Populars and V8s through to trucks, tractors and even boats — all using Ford engines. We see some impressive off-road action alongside nostalgic views of the British countryside along the way.”
