In 1957, Canadians Bristol Foster and Robert Bateman traveled 60,000 kilometers through 19 countries and four continents in their Land Rover Series I nicknamed The Grizzly Torque. The focus of their trip was a result of their backgrounds (Foster is a biologist and ecologist, and Bateman is a well-known Canadian artist and naturalist), so they spent much of their time painting, filming, and photographing the surrounding people and landscapes.
After the pair returned to Canada, The Grizzly Torque was sold to a student in Texas and eventually made its way back to British Columbia, where it sat at a farm for nearly a decade. This is the story of how the Grizzly Torque was rediscovered, restored, and reunited with its former owners years after its unforgettable journey around the world.
