The record
Series III 109-inch diesel station wagons carried support and press crews behind the short-wheelbase team cars in 1983. Their equipment included racks, winches, recovery ladders and extra lamps. One press vehicle was lost to fire. This representative support configuration uses the five-door 109 body with central turned jerry cans, bonnet and roof spares, pillar mirrors, bridging channels and four roof lamps. The supplied photograph depicts an 88-inch team car and is used only for common expedition fittings; it does not independently verify the requested four-lamp arrangement on a specific 109. No registration or individual crew identity is asserted. Exact conversion origin and operating organisation country remain unconfirmed; Zaire is the event location.
