Howitzer Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Hello all, long time no post. I met a guy in Churwalden in Switzerland at the start of August. He had a fantastic Camel Trophy and think he mentioned he was a member on here. He was there with his wife and 2 kids and my son would like to get in touch with his, he forgot to grab their number, as did we. If that rings a bell to anyone then I can leave my details and get in contact. Any help would be much appreciated. Dave!

landroversforever Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 If you don't get any luck here, getting in contact with the Camel Trophy club might also help. https://sites.google.com/view/cameltrophyclub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul doesn't have his 110 anymore, or his Freelander. Not even sure he has a land Rover. His name is Paul Challis and he's on FB Does Dan still have his 110?

Guy S still has his - in fact it's been fully and beautifully restored & re-built. Seen here under race conditions at Thruxton: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen here under race conditions at Thruxton: That doesnt belong to Guy. Myself and a good few others spent a good bit of lockdown restoring that truck and it was an absolute pig in so many ways. - it didn't actually need a restoration in the first place, but the owner wanted a factory job done on it. it was never a full CT truck with a lot of the CT gear never installed from factory, suffice to say he had all the bells and whistles after we'd finished it.

miketomcat Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Guy shepherd's camel was an event director vehicle from memory. He's had it for a long time and it was getting quite tatty and heavily abused. Guy doesn't have children, Paul I can't remember but suspect if he does they'll be older. Dan's kids are a boy and girl one around 14 and the other about 9. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howitzer Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 Thanks gents, This one was well abused but oozing Patina. The boy was around 9 so that rings true. Dave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to great expense to buy a fabric tarp for it rather than plastic, its in a well ventilated place which also helps, so not experienced any damp issues with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon W Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Wow those prices are eye watering, I think if I sold all of mine it still wouldn't make enough. Will be interesting to see what you do with it as you have so many projects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see what you do with it as you have so many projects Honestly I thought the crusty one for 28k was a pretty good price given what Land Rover charge for replicas, if you can weld it would not be a terrible restoration job. Only wrinkle is you'd probably want to save the original chassis rather than throw a galv one under it just for originality, which would create a load of extra work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
