Overview

  • This rare 1968 AMC AMX was comprehensively built for the 2016 Peking to Paris Motor Challenge, one of the toughest endurance rallies in the world.
  • Stripped to a bare shell and re-engineered over three years, the result is “Geen Remmen” (Dutch for “No Brakes” or “No Limits”)—a purpose-built, long-distance rally car that blends muscle car power with serious off-road capability.
  • Over £250,000 has been invested in its build and development (excluding event entry and logistics), with every system carefully considered for reliability, serviceability, and performance.

what do we think?

  • The car is in excellent mechanical order and has recently undergone further prep work.
  • However, as with any competition vehicle, potential recommissioning and pre-event fettling should be expected before it embarks on another rally. A few final parts are also awaited from the U.S. to complete minor jobs.
  • A rare and rally-proven endurance machine—engineered with obsessive attention to detail and built to thrive in the harshest environments.
  • Whether for future historic rallies or a standout addition to a motorsport collection, “Geen Remmen” offers a compelling and capable platform, with all the hard work already done.
