Produktbeschreibung
From 1980 to 2000, Camel Trophy took more than 500 amateur competitors from 35 countries on extraordinary and challenging adventures. On most of these events, teams drove specially prepared Land Rovers to the limit and beyond in locations as varied as Borneo, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea and Tanzania. Camel Trophy charts the history of the event and tells the legendary stories of endurance born of the constant challenge to both man and machine. An official photographer on the last four events, author Nick Dimbleby combines his first-hand account with experiences shared by competitors, contemporary reports and extensive new interviews of key players, to tell a gripping tale of adventure, adversity, technological change and logistical challenge. Beautifully illustrated throughout with a stunning collection of evocative official photography and unofficial behind-the-scenes shots, this extensively researched publication can legitimately claim to be the definitive history of the Camel Trophy.

3 1000 Meilen Abenteuer

Das waren noch Zeiten, als man meilenweit für eine Camel Filter ging. Heute muss man nur vor die Tür. Als die Glimmstängel-Werbung verboten wurde, ersannen findige Marketingmenschen die "Camel Trophy", die 1000 Meilen Abenteuer versprach. Mitmachen konnte theoretisch jeder, es gab zuvor aufwendige Auswahlverfahren. 19 Jahre pflügten Geländewagen von Land Rover durch die Unterhölzer der Welt, die letzte Trophy fand im Jahr 2000 auf dem Wasser in der Südsee statt. Land-Rover-Hoffotograf Nick Dimbleby beschreibt die Geschichte der Trophy bis ins Detail. Volker Lapp steuert für die deutsche Ausgabe ein Vorwort bei. Motorbuch-Verlag, Stuttgart, 352 Seiten, 800 Bilder, Format 235 x 285 mm, 69 Euro. fbs.
