YOU can now pick up where Colin McRae left with this limited edition Navara Rally Raid built to celebrate Nissan's participation in the 2004 Dakar Rally. You, too, can feel like a rally champion in this special addition to the Navara range which is available in showrooms now for the basic on the road price of £16,290, which includes a heavier duty ladder frame chassis and a revised suspension for even better on-road ride and handling.
