The record
The 1983 event paired Series III 88-inch team vehicles with 109-inch support wagons. The 2.25-litre diesels carried the factory hot-climate package, racks, recovery equipment and additional lamps. This reconstruction follows the period photograph shared by 4xfar_adventures: sand paint, pillar mirrors, central edge-on jerry cans, bonnet and roof spares, two roof lamps, stacked side bridging channels and wire headlamp guards. It is a representative team car, without an invented registration or country identity. The precise conversion location and operating organisation’s national attribution remain unconfirmed; Zaire was the event location.
