EVENT – Jeep vs Land Rover

Bitter rivals Land Rover and Jeep head to Honingklip, in the Cape, for a showdown. There can only be one winner… The argument as to whether Jeep or Land Rover is the better vehicle can be traced back to the early 1950s when the Land Rover Series 1 emerged as a British interpretation of the WW2 Willys Jeep. Both brands are iconic in their own right and today each of the marques produces some of the most high-tech and capable 4x4s on the market. But which nameplate produces the most capable vehicles?

Surrounded by many kilometres of apparently featureless Karoo desert and mud flats, the area is barren and dry, just as organiser Gerrie van Eeden likes it. This middle-of-nowhere town may

He was very practical engineer who, with his comprehensive range of innovative equipment and accessories designed and made for off -road travellers, contributed materially to making dreams of travelling to far-flung parts of Africa a reality for thousands of people. But Adolf was also a
