Default Help With Series IIA Starting

I am having problems starting my IIA. At first I thought it was the battery as it has been sitting for some time (~6 months). I ended up jumping it, and it still wouldn't turn over. I have attached a short video of what it sounds like trying to start. I am new to working on this, and trying to learn as much about it as I can. I have a feeling it may be the starter, but hoping someone may have a simpler solution (I did try to check starter connections and they seem good). I appreciate any help/advice!

What did you you use to jump and did you allow some time for the jump to add some power to the battery?

I was using a CRV to jump the battery. I let the CRV run for about 5 mins before trying to start the land rover. I actually, just tried a Suburban and got it to turn over! Now I know I just needed more power. Thanks!
