http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_Trophy
"The Camel Trophy was a vehicle oriented competition that was held between 1980 and 2000, as was best know for its use of Land Rover vehicles over challenging terrain.

The Camel Trophy originated in 1980 with three Jeep-equipped German teams exploring the Amazon. After that first event, the organisers turned to Land Rover and over the course of the next twenty years, all of the Land Rover vehicle range were used. Range Rover, Series III, Defender, Discovery and Freelander vehicles all appeared in the distinctive "sandglow" colour scheme.

The vehicles were heavily modified by Land Rover Special Vehicles with a range of expedition, recovery and safety equipment, including:

* Safety Devices roll cages
* Under body protection and steering guards
* Modified electrical systems
* Winches
* Dixon Bate tow hitches and recovery points
* Mantec snorkels
* Transmission breathers
* Michelin XCL or BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tyres
* Upgraded suspension and transmission components
* Auxiliary fuel tanks
* Webasto fuel burning heaters
* Brownchurch roof racks
* Hella driving, spot, fog, convoy and work lamps
* Bull bars and bush wires
* Flag poles
* Event plaques, decals and sponsor logos (including Camel Trophy Adventure Wear/Bags/Boots/Watches, Lee Cougan, Perception, Sony, Scott USA, Safety Devices, Land Rover, Fjallraven, Warn, Malaysia Airlines, Superwinch, Shell, Avon)
* Expedition tools, Jerry cans, Pelican cases, Zarges boxes, high lift or New Concept air jacks, sand ladders, axes, ropes, drawbars, spades
* Garmin, Terratrip and other navigation and communication equipment"
