1984 Camel Trophy 110 LHD
Time to move on after owning this CT 110 for 7 years...
This is a 100% authentic Camel Trophy 110. An actual race vehicle (not support). This 110 was driven during the 1984 Brazil event by one of the German teams (Volker Lapp and Dr. Ulrich Schum). Volker Lapp owns an expedition service company (trailers etc.) so he was very easy to track down. He helped to verify the history and authenticity of this vehicle. With his pictures from the event, we were able to verify and trace back every dent on this vehicle.
The authenticity of this vehicle is also backed up by a British Heritage certificate. Which states that the vehicle was returned to Lode Lane Factory, and dispatched to R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Brazil.
Some of the Camel Trophy modifications for that specific year:
- As the heritage certificate shows, the vehicle rolled of the line with a 2.25 diesel. At Lode Lane Factory, they were upgraded with a 2.5 NA
- Dual fuel tank set up under passenger seat
- The obvious roof rack and CT brush guard
- Warn 8274 winch
- Battery Cut of switch
- No roll cages were used prior to the 1985 event. I believe it was the Belgians who rolled a car during the 1984 event, and from that moment on, roll cages were introduced for future events. Therefore, this 110 does not have a roll cage. Which is authentic to its year.
As to this specific vehicle:
The good:
- 100% authentic. Even all the stickers are original to the event. Which you can tell by how they faded.
- Mileage, the vehicle shows less than 90,000 km.
- The dents, this might seem weird, but I think it's great that all the dents were able to be traced back to the event, and were never fixed.
- Winch is fully operational with new solenoids. Although I definitely wouldn't trust the original winch cable again.
- Since it was a German team vehicle, it's LHD
- Both spare tires still have the original XCL (which I think is neat from an authenticity aspect)
- Imported by Doug Crowther
The bad:
- As most Land Rovers of that age, there is a significant amount of rust, I tried to document it as good as possible in the pictures. Door bottoms/ driver and passenger foot wells are shot. One of the outriggers on the chassis has been replaced, which was accompanied by a patch on the chassis. And there is a hole in the battery box.
- After the event, someone installed a heater. I removed it, and covered the hole with an aluminum plate.
- Driver seat cushion was shot. Replacement does not match the original interior 100%
- No headliner
Asking price: $65,000

If interested, I will provide you with an email introduction to Volker, it's been a while since I talked to him. But he was very happy to see current pictures of the car he once raced in Brazil.
