2008 Land Rover LR3 G4 Challenge

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 2008 Land Rover LR3 G4 Challenge, one of just four support vehicles built for the 2008 Nevada Passage. Owned only by Land Rover enthusiasts, including the present owner (who is selling only due to a lack of space due to the dozen other Land Rovers in his collection). Very clean inside and out -- it shows as a vehicle with a fraction of the mileage. Paint meters as original on all panels; original graphics with no nicks or fading. Garage kept. Very clean interior with one small crack in the dash being the only flaw to note. Exceptionally dry and rust-free underside.

Land Rover sponsored the G4 challenge in 2003 and 2006 as a follow-up to the iconic Camel Trophy, which ran annually from 1980 to 2000. Although trials were held for the G4 Challenge set for 2009 in Mongolia, Land Rover cancelled the main event in late 2008 due to the emerging global financial crisis (and it has not resumed since). The US qualifiers were held in Nevada in June 2008 in an event called the Nevada Passage, and Land Rover supplied 10 specially-equipped LR3s to participate in the event along with four identical support vehicles.

All of the G4 vehicles were 2008 LR3 HSEs finished in Alaska White over Ebony leather interior and optioned with the Heavy Duty Package, Luxury Package and Satellite Radio plus an electric winch, supplemental bumper-mounted lights, skid plates, a roof rack with ladder, rear lamp guards and rubber floor mats (and of course a one-of-a-kind graphics package exclusive to this event). Powered by a 4.4 liter Jaguar AJ-V8 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with full-time four-wheel drive, this LR3 is highly capable off road thanks to a dual-range transfer case and locking center diff.

This Nevada Passage truck remains in mostly stock condition, aside from the addition of a snorkel, roof rack lights, front lamp guards, Compomotive 18-inch wheels and the Atlantic British coil spring conversion kit (which contains a bypass module that enables the terrain modes to function normally). Recent service includes radiator, water pump, thermostat, brakes, electric parking brake, front and rear diff fluid flush, transfer case flush, transmission pan and fluid change, control arm bushings, and belts and hoses.

Rare opportunity to own a piece of Land Rover and off-roading history, with this truck being one of only 14 built. Original books, two factory remote keys, and extensive service records accompany the sale.
