That's why I love it

They killed the defender with the new one they made :(

@@phocia indeed, it's fucking awful

@@phocia missed the point completely!

No one cares about the New Defender!

I think most if not all of the (smart) owners of Camel Trophy vehicles have done the same when presented with the decision of how to restore and keep them for posterity. It's a fine line in between keeping them their historical value and keeping them from rusting out. I however would address any rust or damage to the undercarriage. It's a difficult compromise there as their patina should be kept authentic imo.

@@leonardpadin869 Yes. Bob Ives “1989 Camel Trophy Winner” has his defender with the scars.

Back when land rovers and range rovers where still british and capable.

@@brandonbentley8532 newest defender seems to be the most capable yet

@@visian-it2zd yeah you can crawl with it on top of every multistorey car park. Or you want to tell me that first thing you do after spending 50-80k dollars on it you take it muddying or rock climbing :-D

pfacka that doesnt take away from the fact they are the most capable 4x4 out yet

Ferguson101 i think ur talking about a wrangler pal

I have a disco, friend has a Toyota... in my opinion I would rather be surprised that the thing has been so reliable rather than him who is shocked and heartbroken when his Toyota breaks. If you expect the worst you are happy, when you expect the best you are let down. Toyotas are great cars but both are vehicles and can and will break if you use them extensively offroad. They both have reputations but I've also noticed owners don't know how to take care of cars. The disco is 170k and still running, still hasn't been unable to make it home on its own power. Seems like a good vehicle to me, but i have to thank those who talked down on it and the reputation it has... I was able to get mine for basically free.

Couldn’t agree more Kyle.

Everyone loves it, stop pretending you're cool and different and brave for enjoying it too

@@lptomtom what does this has to do with ego,all i said is that it was the coolest rover i have ever seen.

Lazy editing I would assume. It took me but a few seconds to find the correct video and about an hour watching it to find actual footage of this particular discovery on the correct Camel Trophy event. On minutes 21:09, 24:19, 34:58, 46:39, 50:42 of the video you can catch a glimpse of this particular vehicle. On minute 54:00 you can see it completing the final task of the event, both from outside and inside the vehicle. 1991 Camel Trophy Tanzania Burundi kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btuSqqihtr6lZIk.html

Well, maintaining the momentum is one way trough a sticky mud, although you could easily roll over, and/or damage underside of the car, but these guys didn't care much since it wasn't their cars and are only used for the event..So they drove it like they stole it :)

As slow as possible, as fast as necessary!

Fourtyseven yeah yeah, Thumbs up and smile, this is fun; The big rocks go under the wheels; Only drive as fast as you can see; And all that jazz...

Yeah, saw that too

@@nl3712 footage is the one collected the journalist (current owner) at the trophy in 87. This car however is 1991.

@@tizianoniero9165 I understood why they they were showing footage of the event he was on, but I always think in Petrolicious vids the car is meant to be the star. Would have been cool to see the Discovery in action too!

Matt Teee Im thinking they weren’t granted the rights to use CT footage, hence only showing the stuff that he shot.

Look at the 1991 event in Tanzania, you will see it there. But agree, the footage is available online probably license free, they should probably had used the shots where you can see this exact vehicle in action. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btuSqqihtr6lZIk.html

introduced to the public in 1989, this was "as rare as the purpose-built Brit trucks that the company modified specifically for the once-a-year Camel Trophy event"

@@rvcasa ...rare as hens teeth in 1987!!! ...though I see the title has been changed to 1991, lol

...was privileged to own a 1991 Camel Defender from 1994-2002 ...possibly the best vehicle I've ever had apart from the Mk2 Austin Mini Cooper S?

Second to the guy who found his Ferrari hanging on the wall , and built it up.

The gentleman that owns it participated on the Camel Trophy from 1987 to 1998 as a journalist. The vehicle in the video is a 1991 Discovery 1 from the 1991 Camel Trophy in Tanzania Burundi event.

@@leonardpadin869 I think originally the title read 1987 instead of 1991 when I wrote that comment

@@FPVsean I see. Yes, I think there's more comments pointing that out. I guess they corrected it after.

probablemente no pasarian muchos, y las marcas quedarian fatal... luego estan intentando meter el coche electrico como sea, y este tipo de pruebas los desmerita

There was one point towards the end the Rover was swaying through the ruts to the rhythm of the ... Rumba??? =)

@@MrDanty64 Rumba in Africa ??

depends the GEMS 4.0s are pretty damn reliable, the bosch 4.0s and 4.6s are junk.

He can store all of his toooools HIS TOOOOOLS

@@marcferme HE HAS TO HAVE HIS TOOOOLLLSSSS!!!!

During the 60s, 70s, 80s and mid 90s, it was a reliable vehicle. The 2.25, 3.5, 19j, 200tdi and 300tdi. There's a reason why the 300tdi are still in produced until the td5 model retired. It's quite common to see their TDI engine could last over 650k miles with a basic maintenance (the one above is a 200tdi, the U.S market didn't get one). Even in the village in Congo, they're still been used as a public transportation. The poor reliability rating came from the later version. Year 2000 and so on Land Rover including its high end model (the Range Rover* model, not the brand) received a bad reputation for reliability as Range Rover have switched lanes to luxurious market and with much more sophisticated features it brought the basic Land Rover model to poor reliability aswell. People couldn't even tell the difference between the basic Land Rover model (Defender) or a high end model (Range Rover). That's why the reputation stuck in the brand itself, people couldn't seen the bright side anyway. Even Google couldn't suggest the right answer if you ask them regarding the LR reliability rating. Their answer mostly pops up as Late 2020s Range Rover model rating. And people these days in social media are so quick judging the brand if the smallest problem occurs. So it's pretty much a defamation.

Yeah something doesn't add up here. 1987 Camel Trophy was Range Rovers, '88 and '89 used Defenders, the Discovery first made an appearance in the 1990 Trophy in 3-Door guise, then the 5 door showed up in 1991. Jose Maria Rubio says this car won the 1987 Trophy, but Fernando Castaneda won the trophy in 1991. So, both Petrolicious and (surprisingly) the owner have it wrong.

@@iamgigglz you are correct! Also the 1987 trophy was the false winner trophy where the USA team technically won but Italy decided to make up their own rules. It was a hugely embarrassing controversial trophy that year that led to massive event changes.

@@brandonbentley8532 and by the looks of it all Ranges and Defenders anyway. I don't see a single Discovery in the archive footage.

@@iamgigglz I think the video is not very clear but it does not imply this is the Discovery that won the 87 trophy. It says it belonged to the same owner who won the spirit award in 87. I believe this is the Tanzania 91 but yes, the title was wrong. I agree on that.

@@rvcasa Gee, ok but just listen to the story. It says the co pilot bought this damn car then sold it to another dude and that dude sold it this guy.
