Did Land Rover modify cars for their Silk Trail / Bolivia ?
Does anybody know, if Land Rover modifies the cars taken for their Land Rover Experience events?
I'm not talking about carriers, tyres or radio but about automotive engineering - especially DPF or cat.

Deefers for Bolivia: did LR use EU4 or even EU5 Defenders?
Freelies for the Silk Trail: did LR use EU5 Freelanders?

Hi Jukathy

Thank you for your post.

I note your query and can confirm that the vehicles used at our Land Rover Experience Centres are standard production models however, they may be fitted with some accessories.

Regarding the vehicles used in the events that you are referring to, we would be unable to confirm specific details regarding these vehicles as some of the vehicles used were pre-production models.

Regards

Ryan

Belgium 2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 X-Tech LE Nara Bronze
In Belgium, LR Experience fitted only some (under)body protection on some of the models. But then again, it was quite an experience - almost got stuck in the mud once...

It isn't "soft" what they put 'em through here, though it might depend on weather and track conditions. When we went it was october, dry weather but very wet and muddy track. Put quite a grin on my face back then Mr. Green

Thanks, Ryan.

Good to know, that my EU5 Land Rover with DPF could indeed cross the Himalaya or the Andes Mountains Very Happy -
And will survive the unofficial "filling stations" in Uzbekistan also. Wink

Best

P.S. And the future hybrid Range Rovers will also cope with these situations. Fine.
