Introducing a true automotive rarity - a Camel Trophy Land Rover Discovery campaigned by the Moroccan Team. This rugged, modern classic 4x4 machine was purpose-built for expeditions, and it's got a story that'll leave you awestruck. Picture this: it took part in the grueling 1997 Camel Trophy competition, where it conquered the wilds of Mongolia, giving this Disco some serious off-road pedigree.
But here's the kicker: only 20 of these bad boys were made for the '97 Camel Trophy. So, whether you're looking to turn heads on your daily commute, embark on epic weekend adventures, or tackle those long-distance expeditions, you can do it in a piece of Land Rover history.
