Coming soon to Durham, North Carolina

This Defender 90 is finished in grey with black Puma hood and roof. It’s a beast of a Defender 90. Kitted out with all the upgrades and extras you need. Starts, stops and drives very well. Equipped with the sought after 200TDi power plant and a five speed manual transmission. Original bulletproof factory turbo diesel engine that sports an inter-cooled boost efficient design, superior to the older versions. It’s a off road monster of a Defender! Ready for anything that will stand in its way.

Get it into the rough and tough stuff off road and this Defender really comes into its own. The purpose built suspension is well controlled and comfortable, but when combined with the oversized tires it gives astonishing capability in all terrain. With the Defender's AWD system and with the additional ground clearance, it will get you over or through anything you can't drive around! It's a serious, no nonsense and purpose built D90. It has the added upgrade of front and rear ARB air-locking diffs with a compressor installed. Mechanically sound and set up for anything, all the important upgrades and accessories have already been heavily invested into this beast. It merely needs a new owner who is ready to enjoy and use this Defender.

Arriving July 2019

We are very proud to present a Legendary Defender coming soon, a very historic 1991 Land Rover Defender 110 that was part of the 1991 Camel Trophy expedition of Tanzania – Burundi. Equipped with the sought after 200TDi power plant and five speed manual transmission. As you will read below, this Defender has many attributes, extras and a very unique history to go with it. Previously Land Rover enthusiast owned and the vehicle clearly shows it has been well cared for with no expense spared. It’s set up for the streets and the trails, it merely needs a new owner who is ready to enjoy and use this Defender. 

All Camel Trophy vehicles were produced in both left-hand and right-hand drive, depending on the vehicle's role, the event location and the country. This 110 competed in Africa hence it was a RHD version. Camel Trophy vehicles are standard production line Land Rovers, adapted and prepared by Land Rover’s Special Vehicles division to compete in what was arguably the world’s toughest off-road event. Complete with two fuel tanks with the standard one and the extra one under the drivers seat. Long-range fuel tanks and an external/internal roll cage where factory equipment from Land Rover for Camel Trophy expeditions, which are the two main distinct features that set it apart from a regular 110. Only a genuine ex-Camel Trophy Defender will have been fitted with the unique internal/external roll cage.

1991 Camel Trophy – Tanzania - Burundi

In 1991, Camel Trophy returned to the African mainland for the first time since the 1983 to tackle an 1800km route over little used tracks and traversing some of the world’s most spectacular scenery teeming with precious wildlife. The route retraced the trail of the famous Scottish explorer Dr. David Livingstone, who led a successful quest to discover the source of the Nile in the Nineteenth Century.  The 1991 Camel Trophy was significant not only because it crossed the border between two countries but also for its record entry of seventeen nations. Competition, expedition or adventure? Camel Trophy is in fact all of these. Traveling in identical Land Rover Discovery’s, the seventeen amateur teams from as many countries set off from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, to fight their way through waist deep mud and two-meter high elephant grass, climbing the hills of Burundi to the finish in the capital, Bujumbura. The target for the two-man crew of each vehicle is to conquer natural obstacles along the way. With the belated advent of the rainy season, many of the Tanzanian tracks, particularly those through the areas of "black cotton soils", became treacherous quagmires. Progress was slowed dramatically and the incessant whine of winch motors even drowned out the sounds of the African bush. Many teams soon learnt that only teamwork and determination would help them reach their final goal, whilst keeping up a competitive edge through the challenging Special Tasks. 

Although the Land Rover Discovery was the vehicle of choice for the competitive teams in 1991, the chosen support vehicles where Defender 110’s and this was one of the very support 110’s that also made the phenomenal trip. It has been confirmed by the Camel Trophy Club UK that this is an authentic Camel Defender with the correct corresponding VIN and license plate “H656 JRW” that shows it supported the 1991 Camel Trophy – Tanzania – Burundi event. There is also a 3” folder stacked with old documentation, receipts and supporting evidence. What an incredible and historic vehicle this is! Although its looks have drastically changed from its original Camel Trophy yellow and all its well equipment adventure ready gear (why would you ever change it!), this Defender 110 has undoubtedly a truly amazing story and history that it will forever be a part of. Own a piece of Land Rover Camel Trophy history.
