Hundred days of darien

As above, does anyone own, or know where to get a copy of this, i read an article that was in a LROI someone gave me and thought it was **** funny, first thing they do is bolt on big tyres and cut the gaurds, then go and break heaps of diffs, ALL IN 1971:cool:

Ya'd think that after seeing how **** weak they're diff centres were back then, something would of been done to remedy them:mad:

You could try motor book world in Bourke Rd Camberwell.

It's been years since I was in there but they used to have a decent rover selection.

Yea thanks, it said in the article, they were now unavailable, i was hoping a fellow forum type person may have one stashed away

1961.
* 1971/72 British Trans-Americas expedition, led by Major John Blashford-Snell, drove two Range-Rovers from Alaska to Cape Horn. A SWB Land-Rover also "helped" over the Darien Gap.


Saw a film of this when I worked at Leyland Truck and Bus. The 88" was brought in to do more than "help" the RR's out of the poo. They couldn't have got through said poo without being "helped" by the 88". They were bloody well rescued by the 88". Without it the RR's would still be in a bog in Panama or thereabouts.
