"Produced in limited numbers, approximately 1,100 units were intended mainly for the German market.
"These versions were painted sand yellow (Sandglow LRC361) and equipped with specific features such as bumper bars, additional headlights, roof racks and snorkels, but did not include roll bars or other safety devices provided for the competition versions of the Camel Trophy.
"This example took part in a private off-road tour only once, after which it was used exclusively on the road. It shows no signs of rust as it has always been stored in a garage.
The photographs are realistic and accurately represent the current condition."
