is this genuine Camel Trophy vehicle?

CT trucks had the roof rack mounts passing through the roof and mounting to the internal roll cage. They weren't mounted to the rain gutter.

It's my old truck, and it is absolutely NOT a former Camel Trophy vehicle. I'd be happy to answer any questions to anyone looking at that truck, but as hinted at above, the price tag might be a little on the high side.

Unfortunately, since I sold it, the truck appears to have stripped of many of it's goodies including the roof top tent, the Hannibal awning and judging by the mouning location of the front license plate, the winch too.

I see that the bottle opener is still on the back bumper , though..

I spent some time looking through the pics last night and noticed a few things about it. Namely that no one has added anything since I sold it a couple of years ago, but some of the kit has disappeared.

Also some of the little problems that I remember starting to develop appear to have become bigger and worse. Namely, the tear in the transmission shifter indicator "belt" is quite large, the fabric on the rear seat has really started to separate from the back.

But on the other hand, someone did put those nice form fitting, color matched seat covers up front. :Wow1:
