1997 was the end of the real Camel Trophy, even that year was pretty tame.
Ah ok

I was gonna say, that must be one tough-*** freelander. Perhaps even one worth owning!

But alas...

It reminds me of Adam Sandler's foot on Mr. Deeds

Well true to Land Rover those Freelanders were stock, diesels of course but stock otherwise.

The Freelander is a formidable offroader, I want one as a commuter car.

Here is what the Camel Trophy turned into.

I was going to pay $1,000 for a 1999 Discovery II near weed, CA - but I missed it!
It needed a head possibly and head gaskets for sure.
Water in the oil.
the guy tightened the head bolts more..

Maybe just as well someone got off with it besides me.
This rover - yellow - is pretty and distinct.

$15K for paint and a fancy camel is too rich for my blood.
I would try to buy a Porsche Boxter or a Range Rover past year 2003.

Florida vehicles being sold on Craigslist out of Minnesota seem to sound alarms with me. I am sure there is a good story there, but I would just pass regardless.

Either this guy got hosed or he's trying to pull a fast one on some unsuspecting poor fellow. If the later. F-him.

I cant stand people who re-badge cars and try make claims that they're legit. I came from the Audi world had a C5 Audi A6 2.7T (stage 3 minus by the time I sold her...wicked fast). I would see it all the time on Craigslist and not to mention the forums. People would de-badge the facotry lettering and put in place either "S6" or "S4" badges and try to play it off like it's legit. Here's the thing Einstein, the only people who take notice to the badges are the enthusiasts. We know it's not that model car you dolt!

To each his own.

There's your sign.
