Hello everyone, a bit new to the land rover game, but I jumped in the deep end with a really special vehicle...
My brother and I are planning a global expedition, and decided that a Land Rover Defender was obviously the way to go. I wanted something a little special from the start, so I approached Mike Robson, at his Camel Trophy Museum to see if he had anything to offer.
he had two defender 110s. one was a support vehicle from the 1997 event, which I drove, and it was fine, fully equiped, and ready to go on an expedition that afternoon!
I must confess, I wasn't entirely convinced this was the one for me though. Because...
The other 110 was something else altogether. one of the seven wolves built for Sir Ranulph Fiennes transglobe Expedition, which was cancelled when BMW pulled the plug on Land Rover's support.
Despite the fact that the camel had all the equipment already, I decided that it would be better to tailor the wolf for our own needs. So we bought it. It was not being sold by Mike, but by a friend of his who had originally planned on using it for an off road experience center.
We've been working on the wolf for a few months now, and plan to leave on the expedition in Jan 2007.

As we have only just set up our website and are still in the planning stages, any comments or feedback would be hugely appreciated.
