After 30 years away from the public eye, Nissan brought one of its most iconic motorsport machines back to life. The 1987 Nissan Patrol Fanta Limon Paris-Dakar rally car has been restored to its former glory and made a return to its spiritual home in the sand dunes of the Saharan desert.
The Nissan Patrol took victory in the diesel category, and it was the first diesel car to ever finish in the race’s overall top 10, taking ninth spot. Today, all the top cars are diesels.
