Not long after the Dakar Rally was established in the late 1970s, a rival series known as the Camel Trophy, named after Camel, the cigarette company (the main sponsor), was launched. Unlike the deserts of the Dakar Rally, the Camel Trophy navigated areas where there was tough jungle terrain. The Camel Trophy grew from humble beginnings to become the most famous event of its kind in the world, a unique combination of adventure, expedition and competition. It spawned a "brand" inspired by the powerful "Camel Trophy Spirit" shown by those who participated in the events. The series ran from 1981 to 2000, with various Land Rover models dominating the series for most of that time. Those original Camel Trophy Land Rovers were typically sold after just a year's competition, and today are highly sought among Land Rover collectors.

A tribute to the legendary Land Rovers of its day, ‘C288 NHJ’ is of course presented in Yellow with a Beige interior and features included rock sliders, a roof rack with spare tyre, bull bar, spotlights and of course a Camel-inspired livery. In current ownership for the last two years, and mated to a desirable manual transmission, this particular example benefits from the ability to run its 3.5L V8 engine on petrol and LPG. Recently benefiting from a full service including brake fluids and replacement headlining, this Range Rover features later Holly 4 barrel type carbs. With 91,500 miles displayed on the odometer, ‘C288 NHJ’ comes accompanied with a spare set of seats and a V5C document which displays 7 former keepers. The vendor rates the condition of the interior trim as ‘very good’, with the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork and transmission as ‘good’ to ‘very good’.
