An endurance hero

It soon became the car in which to compete in the world’s most gruelling endurance races. In 1972 it became the first vehicle to complete the 18,000-mile Trans American expedition, a feat followed up when the Range Rover completed the 7,500-mile Sahara Desert rally in 100 days. It also scored a victory in class in the 1977 London to Sydney marathon, before winning the inaugural Paris-Dakar in 1979.
