Place round the corner from me have a 1997/8 Disco 1 Camel trophy Japanese import. It's got 26k on the clock & has been used in showrooms etc so has not seen any action as such. It is stunning with all the kit etc.
They are asking 14k for it, very expensive, but immaculate in every way.
They just offered me 4k for my 110...............
Anyone got any views?
Nige Hi,
this must be a limited edition Camel clone for the Japanese market.
I think it is not fitted with an internal full rollcage as the evented vehicles and it may have a few accessories or factory fitted option that evented vehicles did not have (such as front electric windows, A/C, sunroofs, antiroll bars, washer jets for the light clusters) while missing other equipment that the evented vehicles had (the jerry can holders on the loadspace area sides, the doubledecker loadspace with securing straps, map light for the co-driver, winch controller's plug on the center console's side, Defender sunvisors etc)
But if it is a genuine limited edition for the Japanese market factory built vehicle then it is even rarer than the evented vehicles.
I would propose you get in touch with the camel trophy owners club. If you do not know how please let me know.
Take care Pantelis

It is just that Pantellis, i like the look a lot!
Here it is!
Let me know matey if you could?
It does look like one of the copies, the roofrack is the wrong type, no snorkel etc.
Pantellis is right: no "real" S-reg Camel Trophy vehicles were produced and this one lacks rollcage, cut away wheel arches, etc. so this is a Discovery Camel Trophy LE. (Also note the rooflamps are "wrong", not Hella Rallye 1000s.)
They are quite interesting vehicles in themselves, and there are a couple of LE owners who get involved in the Camel Trophy Owners Club.
I guess it depends wheat you are looking for. If you are interested in the style, then the LEs are eye-catching vehicles, and easier to live with than the ex-Camel Trophy vehicles. If you want a real piece of Land Rover history, then the long search for the right ex-Camel Trophy vehicle awaits!
Cheers
