Regular readers of our “Latest News” pages will know that we always welcome updates and news from owners of our Land Rovers.
Today we received a message from Christoph who owns “TXC 300M a 1973 Land Rover 109” Dormobile that we sold back in 2008.
Along with the message came a picture of Christoph and his Land Rover on the Sani Pass in South Africa.
The Sani Pass is the mother of all South African mountain passes.
Statistically and in every sense, it out distances, out climbs, and out performs all it’s competitors with consummate ease to have become the most iconic gravel pass in SA. Situated between KZN and Lesotho the pass was built circa 1950 and remains a challenging drive in 4×4 vehicles with all the drama, scenery, bad weather and treacherous conditions expected of a pass with a summit altitude of 2876m ASL. That equates to 9400 feet and at 10,000 feet aircraft need pressurised cabins! This is high altitude stuff !!
