The Camel Trophy almost exclusively used Land Rover vehicles, yet this clearly is a Mitsubishi Pajero. The photos are from a german magazine from 1989, and the are allegedly taken during a qualifier in Turkey, but much of the history of these cars in the Camel Trophy is unknown or vague.

Spotted a Fairthorpe TX GT. That has never happened before and will most likely never happen again. Glad my gf could snatch a photo.

Meet the Opel Kadett City and the Suzuki Wagon R+. Both models were derived from another car, the Vauxhall Chevette and Opel Agila with a different license plate position.

When you put an old bumper on your facelift Applause, you end up with two spaces for your licence plate. I can think of at least two cars that had this out of the factory. Do you?
