It was bought in 2001 by Mike Robson who has had it restored back to original condition and it is displayed at the new Camel Trophy Museum on his Shropshire cattle estate

Mark Griffiths, the Sales Manager at Huddersfield Land Rover, has developed a real talent for finding the rarest, unspoilt and most desirable Classic Range Rovers available- first A208 KLL and now this, a 1986 2.4 VM Turbo diesel, used in the 1987 Camel Trophy, and now most importantly, one of no more than five remaining. Camel Trophy Range Rovers are as you now know very rare. They come from the days in Camel Trophy's history when the vehicles that took part in the event were broken up rather than sold on.

The 1987 M.Y Camel Trophy Range Rovers were basically totally standard vehicles, being based around the newly introduced 2.4 VM Turbo diesel engine (first introduced in the Rover SD1 with just 90bhpdue to a smaller Turbo) - a wonderful marketing ploy to prove just how good the Turbo D really was. They were all originally standard R/R colours (This one- C838 WWK, was originally Derwent blue metallic, which coincidentally is not the same as the other blue (Caspian blue) Range Rover in the photo).

The story is that when the Camel Trophy finished that year, most of the cars were scrapped. Mark says "To my knowledge the American team event car (D reg sequence of UK number plates) went to America, and ended up being sold to Africa. The UK event car (D reg again) was bought by one of the drivers (George Bee), and it is rough condition - but he still owns it today".

For the 1987 event the Range Rovers were equipped with a Warn 8274 winch, roof rack, rear ladder, engine snorkel, 700x16 Michelin tyres, a unique to the event bullbar and the compulsory rollcage- but the mechanical components of the vehicle remained totally standard.

ylläri pylläri, melkoin vakio autolla tekivät reissun!!!

varusteina olivat, vinssi, katto räkki, portaat, snorkkeli, paremmant renkaat 215/80-16, eroinen karjarauta, pakollinen rurvakaari...mutta mekaaniset osat olivat täysin vakioita
