Wheeze being the operative word... still looks a laugh. I heard about the two city lawyers doing the run - apparently the 1988 Nova 1.0 they're using is still in everyday as their boss's everyday car (he's on £250k a year minimum)...

What's a Leyland Scamp when it's at home?

Don't know but I had a record "sing a song of motor cars" as a lad, there was a song

So how did the 3 litre Izuzu 4wd get in then? Not exactly much challenging about getting something like THAT to Mongolia really, is there?

Assuming it's a 6-pot, maybe it's only firing on 2 cylinders. Would that not work? Someone check the rulebook!

The rules state -
1. The Vehicle Rule: You can only use a car with an engine of less than 1 litre, that is generally considered to be crap. Motorbikes are limited to under 125cc, ideally scooters (we're amicable chaps, so if you're desperate to use something bigger you can be accommodated, but you will be fined £100 for every 0.1ltr above the limit).
£2k extra to take a Isuzu Trooper :-0

Seem to be quite a few old Polos. Let's hope they have packed a fuel pump and Hall Sender...
