Yes it sure is a lefty it has german gauges too. do you know of any one i could contact to see if it is the real deal? I watched a Youtube video of the 1983 Camel Trophy they look just like mine!

I want to make room for two optima red top batteries I got for free but the stupid oil bath filter is in the way -anybody ever mess around with some flex pipe and a K/N filter or something like that?? Anything has got to be better than that old oil bath Right? some pics would be great!!

You are correct it is a desert sand color. Sicily is only about 120k from Africa could it have been used like you said... as a Safari vehicle? i guess what I mean to ask is.... -Is this sticker from the factory and does it indicate certain options like a safari or desert package. (hence the...

Just had it on the trail this morning... Don't need doors to go off road
