In fact, the Camel trophy is itself largely responsible for generating the current interest in offroading, and has massively influenced the gear and the look that’s favoured for tricked up Land Rover today. So if Camel One Ten looks rather standard, that’s because it’s the way things were. In terms of off roading kit, this is the top of a blank page that we’ve filled in later with bush wires, skid plates, roll caged, chequerplate and all the rest.
Even apart from the Camel trophy special fitments and the early spec tricky bits. This One Ten was a big job. Competitor is lucky in that they run a Land Rover repair business. But that’s the day job and, if anything, it only took away time from the project. Work preceded by spare time fits and starts, then they hit a bad patch apart from searching for the elusive missing parts, progress ground to a halt for several years. But the 60th celebration provided impetus.
