LJ80 does Paris-Dakar in 1982
This must be the dream of every LJ80 owner, driving the famous Paris-Dakar (called Le Dakar these days) rally in such a simple vehicle. In 1982 Josef Loder did just that, together with his navigator Alois Schneck!

Equipe Loder/Schneck
Loder/Schneck's LJ80 was prepared by www.delta4x4.com .
The alterations to the vehicle consisted of a 1000cc engine from an SJ410, tuned to 90hp using overhead camshaft, carburator and manifold. A 150lt fuel tank and dual shock absorbers where fitted. The top speed was 130km/h. Suzuki Germany supplier support during the race.
In the desert.
In Algeria, after driving 3000km the equipe got into serious trouble with the gear box. Repairs took all day and the race had to be abandoned. Loder and Schneck continued to Dakar outside the race and reached Dakar in their LJ80. At the town border they took this great picture.
