[1] A successor to the Rotrax, the Dakar uses a Range Rover chassis rather than the more conventional sports car style.

The Dakar matched the Range Rover's 100-inch wheelbase and added a rear seat, as well as carrying over the V8 engine and 4WD from the donor vehicle.

The Dakar found TV fame in the 1990s, with a factory-built car being chosen for the series Challenge Anneka, replacing the previously used VW-based beach buggy.

The vehicle was finished in the series' trademark colours of a light blue body with yellow roll cage and weather gear.

Australian company John E Davis Motor Works made a car called the Bush Ranger ("Bushie") that derived from the Dakar.
