Our video this week is a kind of birthday card love letter from Land Rover. I have to admit that I am a sap for these kinds of videos, and yes, I have been known to cry during Hallmark commercials. Seems this video, though nothing to do with Christmas, is perfect for this holiday week and remembering our families and the good times.
The Land Rover Experience centre in Solihull recently welcomed a very special guest. Geoff, a lifelong Land Rover fan, celebrated his 80th birthday with a special surprise organized by Land Rover and his daughter. Getting behind the wheel of our latest vehicles, Geoff got some tips on off-roading from Phil Jones, our Land Rover Experience instructor. The surprises didn’t stop there as Mike Bishop, Product Manager of Land Rover Reborn, brought along a very special vehicle. Watch the film to see how the day unfolded.
Looks like everyone had a great time!

What a wonderful birthday surprise. Well done!
Nothing is more complete than a man and his rover.
Thank you for picking our film -I was thrilled when Land Rover contacted me, and they did us proud with a fantastic day to remember. Special memories for a special man, my Dad x
