Camel Trophy - The Definitive Story by Nick Dimbleby
If you’ve been around Land Rovers for long enough, there are two names that will stand out, the first is the Camel Trophy, and the second is Nick Dimbleby.
From 1980 to 2000, Camel Trophy took more than 500 amateur competitors from 35 countries on extraordinary and challenging adventures. On most of these events, teams drove specially-prepared Land Rovers to the limit and beyond in locations as varied as Borneo, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea and Tanzania.
Nick’s new book contains chapters on selections, the infrastructure and pre-scouts, and provides a fascinating insight into how the Camel Trophy events were put together. There’s also technical specifications and insights into the design and build of the Land Rovers, Jeeps and RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) used.
As one of the official photographers on the last four events you can not only expect incredible photography, but you can read his first-hand account and shared experiences of competitors, along with reports and extensive new interviews of key event leaders as well as behind the scenes material from staff members.
Published in hardback and containing 336 pages with over 930 quality images, Nick’s book is a must-have buy for every Land Rover and Camel Trophy enthusiast.
