Porsche 597 Jagdwagen

We all know what a Porsche should look like, but this is something definitely different. This unique model is called Porsche 597 Jagdwagen (roughly translating as "hunting car”) a 4×4 developed in 1953 as a prototype for the German Army in World War II, as a vehicle comparable to the Jeep, Land Rover, and the Unimog. The car has the same flat-4 1.6-liter engine that sat in the Porsche 356. They manufactured only 71 of these utility vehicles between 1955 and 1958, and 49 of these were sold to the civilian market. This is one of those, owned by a Japanese guy who has restored it thoroughly. Bonhams will be selling this rare example in pristine condition at the Goodwood Revival on the 10th of September.

1998 LAND ROVER DEFENDER 110 CAMEL TROPHY

The iconic Camel Trophy was one of the most challenging 4x4 adventure expeditions and competitions in the world, taking place from 1980 to 2000, and was best known for its use of Land Rover vehicles over challenging terrain. Very few of those vehicles survived, and it is extremely rare that an authentic Camel Trophy veteran comes up for sale. Built by the Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations team specifically for the 1998 Tierra Del Fuego Camel Trophy event, this 1...
