Dunsfold Land Rover Collection – Camel Trophy special invitation
You may not be aware but Dunsfold Collection is home to the largest Land Rover collection in the world – with a huge variety of rare Land Rovers including all manner of prototypes and specialist one-offs.
The Camel Trophy Owners Club have very kindly opened up their special visit to Shire LRC members so if you missed our previous visit or you’d like to see some rare Camel Trophy exhibits and maybe even chat to a few legends, get yourself along!
Members of Shire LRC are invited to join Camel Trophy Club’s visit to the prestigious Dunsfold Collection museum which takes place on Saturday 19th October 2024.
The museum houses displays of up to 40 rare vehicles on rotation from the total of 136 in the care of the Dunsfold Collection. The museum also contains an unrivalled archive of Land Rover brochures, publicity material, manuals, handbooks, photographs, drawings and magazines, as well as a vast display of Land Rover memorabilia, together with the extraordinary John Parker collection of over 2,000 Land Rover models and toys.
Members can arrive from lunchtime, when we expect drinks and snacks to be available. A guided tour of the museum will take place in the afternoon, culminating in the unveiling of a unique display of priceless Camel Trophy artefacts forming part of a new exhibit.
Camel Trophy VIPs including Nick Horne (Event Director), Bob & Joe Ives (Team UK ’89) and Nick Dimbleby (CT Photographer) will be present at the event and will give an evening presentation, which we know will be a highlight of the season after the sell-out Camel Trophy talk at Dunsfold earlier this year. The presentation will be at the nearby Springbok Estate where there will be a bar and a subsidised buffet.
