Camel Trophy 1986 — Ninety

Fourteen national teams drove Ninetys in the 1986 Australian Camel Trophy, travelling from Cooktown towards Darwin. This reconstruction follows the central vehicle in the Douglas Shire Historical Society’s Daintree ferry photograph, including its bonnet spare, external cage, four roof lamps, roof cans, perforated recovery boards and green-on-white 017-PNR registration.

Shared components provide the Ninety body, mirrors, wheels, rack, rear spare, high-mount winch and Trophy bumper. The photograph does not identify this particular crew; its operating nation and exact preparation origin remain unassigned. The Australian setting is an event location, not evidence of the crew’s nationality. Hidden rear fittings follow the documented common event specification, and cargo details are approximate.
