I have asked this question before about G4 vehicles. The event vehicles should have a plaque stating the number of the vehicle for that G4 Event.

Not entirely accurate as many weren't fitted, the event number plaque is available as a reproduction from the G4OC and states "This vehicle is one of X Number created for the 200X Challenge". They would normally have a fleet number in the centre of the windscreen near to the rear view mirror mount though. The Club can provide the fleet number if one was issued.

Then there were RRs, Defenders, Freelanders, etc that were genuine support vehicles but a lot of those weren't in the distinctive Tangiers Orange colour and different livery/decals.

All the support vehicles were Tangiers Orange and liveried the same as the event vehicles with the exception of two D3 Ambulances which were Silver for the 2009 event.

Then LR also sold G4 edition vehicles that were normally to a limited run, say 500, with decals and other mods.

The G4 Editions (2003/2004 D2, 90 and 110 models) we (G4OC) believe were limited to 200 of each model in Tangiers Orange, Java Black, Zambezi Silver and Borrego Yellow, Freelanders were never officially called Editions, but were issued in the same colour pallet, and marketed as "Kalahari"

Hope that helps.

What he says!!

Thanks DurtyDisco. I was living in SA in 2003 and remember seeing a whole bunch of LR G4 vehicles kitted out in the Tangiers Orange at an outdoor vehicle centre, whilst doing a publicity shoot.
There were a very few limited number of the brand new D2 edition vehicles for sale by LR South Africa at the time as well.

It's what we call them in the owners club, a little pet name. Same as the Camel Trophy Owners Club guys who refer to CT "replicas" as "Shamels"

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery so they say, though for the cost of all the parts needed to create a replica, you may as well just buy a real one.....

For 2005 there were 38 D3s, a large number of which were LHD.

Seen quite a few V8 D3's built for the 2006 Challenge in LHD, not seen any of the TDV6 08's in LHD though
