Camel Trophy events were normally tough, but the 1984 edition was hardly normal at one point the Land Rover were transported on a ferry along the route of the road but there was 27 feet of hostile, swirling, muddy water between them and your actual road surface. Mud” matter of factly. When they was rebuilding they got lots out they not kidding there’s a plastic bag Brazilian spec mud kept as a memento in them office drawer.
So is ever a One Ten needed restoring properly this historic one did and competitor spirit is the right man for that kind of job. They been looking out from a Camel with proper history I mean, a proper event vehicle. In later years it became a big thing and, for each event, they built lots of Camel Trophy vehicles but some just went straight to dealers as publicity and never really did anything. But this one did the event. It wasn’t in good condition, so it needed a lot of work but I thought that I’d never get a better Camel.
