The Vehicle
Red, our 1963 Ex-Military Land Rover Series 2A SWB is now over 60 years old. Red is no stranger to the Sahara and our rallies, this will be our 5th rally with Red and the 4th time heading into the Sahara.
Red has been recently fitted with a secondary fuel tank, doubling our driving distance between refuelling stops and giving us that extra bit of contingency when in more remote desert areas.
