Introducing a true automotive rarity – a Camel Trophy Land Rover Discovery campaigned by the Moroccan Team. This rugged, modern classic 4×4 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.

Key Facts About the Camel Trophy Discovery:

  • This Land Rover Discovery 2.5 TDi is a generally well-preserved and very rare example of the dependable modern classic 4×4, which was built to expedition specification and used by the Moroccan team in the 1997 Camel Trophy competition across Mongolia.  
  • Under the bonnet sits a turbocharged 2.5-litre diesel inline-four, delivering around 109hp to all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.  
  • This left-hand drive example was only recently imported from France to Italy, where it has been with the seller and third owner for one year.  
  • This Discovery is one of only 20 examples that were built and upgraded specifically for use in the 1997 Camel Trophy.  
  • The odometer shows 179,342 Km from new.
