"Land Rover's close association with the annual Camel Trophy, over a period of 17 years, enhanced the company's image. The worldwide coverage it gained in the press and on television reminded potential buyers of the toughness inherent in Land Rovers, and it gave them a vital dash of glamour and adventure." – Eric Dymock, The Land Rover File.
A Camel Trophy support vehicle, this Land Rover has been to India and back three times. The Camel Trophy was a competition held annually between 1980 and 2000, and was best known for its use of Land Rover vehicles over challenging terrain. The event took its name from its main sponsor, the Camel cigarette brand. Although standard production models, the participating Land Rovers were always prepared by the company's Special Project Division or its successors.
Powered by the 2.5-litre diesel engine, 'K311 YKV' features twin fuel tanks, a winch, two batteries, a snorkel, a Brownchurch roof rack, and an external-to-internal roll cage. The current (third) owner has owned the Land Rover for 22 years and advises us that it is on its third genuine gearbox, which is perhaps not surprising given the life it has led. The Landie is said to run and drive well.
