Brief overview of the history of Land Rover... Camel Trophy

Brief overview of the history of Land Rover...


The Camel Trophy adventure first started in 1980, when 3 German teams explored the Amazon Basin with off-road vehicles. After this adventurous first event, which attracted great interest from everyone, the organizers approached the Land Rover company for support and the tobacco company Camel for the main sponsorship. For the next two decades, the entire Land Rover vehicle series, including Range Rover, Land Rover Series III, Land Rover 90, Land Rover 110, Land Rover Defender, Land Rover Discovery and Freelander, were used in these annual competitions. These vehicles were usually painted in a recognizable "sand shine" color and had the "Camel Trophy" badge on them.

In this series the vehicles have been heavily modified with a range of equipment including reconnaissance, rescue and safety equipment. Camel Trophy races were organized regularly every year from 1980 to 2000; Italy 3 times; Türkiye, Germany, France and the Netherlands 2 times; England, Switzerland, USA, Spain, Czech Republic, Greece, Austria and South Africa have won 1.

Although there are many variations and accessories available to owners and tuners today, there is no one that captures Land Rover's adventurous spirit better than the tastefully crafted Camel Trophy cars than the VLC Defender, which we also custom-designed and produced and equipped with today's technology!
