Thread: Camel Trophy 130's in Action

actually I thought they were used in quite a few as support vehicles???

Not the 130 double cab quadtech's, only Russia I think.

The 130 Single cab, workshop was used in 3 events. I thinks. 2 Survive, but only one of the double cabs survive out of 6.

Snorkle on the left, so 200 tdi, or V8?

Russia, 1990, 200tdi

They only ever made 5x Camel 130s and were only used on the Russia (1990) event.

200TDi...

Looks like the cabs roof rack is not joined to the trays roof. Something I have noticed, a cracked roof seam is inevitable if you have the tray joined to the cab. Amazing how much the back of the car flexes to the cab. It looks like LR have it almost kissing but not quite. Hard to tell bit the last pic indicates best. Also looks like they have limited load roughly 100kg plus rack on the cab. Something the 110's didn't seem to subscribe too.

Shame those days are gone, they were good weren't they. All to tame these days.

Yep, the 130 roofracks were in 2x sections due to the flex. They didn't need to carry masses of gear on the roof as there was loads of space in the Quadtec bodies.

The design of the roll cages for both the 110s & 130s is pretty neat as it helps take some of the load from the roof rack. (There was a roll cage inside the Quadtec bodies too.)
