Emilio Previtali kept track of the 1991 Camel Trophy Land Rover he drove, and finally was able to buy it in 2014

Despite the rigors of 1600km of challenging African topography, Carlo’s Discovery remained in good condition, and was one of the best preserved at the close of the event

Following the event, R.J. Reynolds—the parent owner of the Camel brand—wanted today’s equivalent of around €30,000 for purchase of the Land Rovers after the event, and as such, Carlo’s Discovery was purchased by a private buyer in 1995, and five years later Carlo began to realize that he needed it back in his life.

“I had been in contact with the previous owner via Facebook since 2011, and in 2012 I made him an unsuccessful offer. Then, in December 2014 after two months of negotiations, we finally concluded the deal.”
