Pedigree
A Legacy of Adventure
From 1980 to 1998, the Camel Trophy was more than a race—it was the ultimate test of endurance, skill, and resilience. Teams navigated factory-supplied Land Rover models through some of the world’s most unforgiving terrains, taking on challenges like timed rally stages, winching trials, and orienteering.
Land Rovers, particularly the Defenders, emerged as symbols of unparalleled durability and capability. These vehicles, often finished in the signature Sand Glow color, became synonymous with the Camel Trophy’s spirit of adventure and perseverance.
Defender: The Camel Trophy Icon
Among the variety of models used—three-door, five-door, and others—the Defender stood out as the definitive choice for tackling the world’s harshest conditions. Its rugged design and relentless performance solidified its place as a Camel Trophy legend.
At North44 Rovers, we honor this extraordinary legacy by offering tribute builds that pay homage to these iconic vehicles. Finished in the classic Sand Glow and crafted with the same spirit of adventure, our builds allow you to experience the legend firsthand.
