From the 1984 edition of the Dakar, comes the #532 MAN KAT 8x8 from the Rothmans Porsche team.
The truck ran as part of the support team, and these vehicles had to follow the same route as the racers did, and there was even a separate score sheet for those support teams. One of the reasons why they drove the same route was to assist the racing vehicle if it broke down in the desert, field repairs could be done, and then if they didn't have the right parts, or it was too severe a problem, they could tow the vehicle towards the next bivouac where the entire mechanics team could work on the vehicle in preparation for the next stage.
8x8 trucks were truck landships driving in the Dakar, the sheer size of the truck was impressive.
The model has 3 pages, 2 pages with parts and one instruction diagram page.
