But won the Production category (factory cars without modification) and Marathon (with limited modifications). Break even took the trophy for Best Team Work, by completing the race without mechanical problems. It took two years before, in 1985, the duo of Patrick Zaniroli pilots and Andrew Cowan conquer the top two spots of the race at the wheel of his Pajero. The car, however, began to make success too adventurous for its glamor: that same year, Prince Albert and his sister Princess Caroline of Monaco, the Pajero Full chosen to compete in the Dakar Rally. In 1986, no fewer than 64 Pajero coming from places as diverse as Peru and Germany have signed up on the test, 30 of them in the Production category, for the factory cars.
