A father and son team from East Oxford have successfully completed the Mongol Rally.
Steve, 54, and Will Merrow-Smith, 28, from Hertford Street and Rymers Lane respectively, arrived in the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar yesterday.
They spent a month on the road from London, driving 10,000 miles across eight countries in a 16-year-old Seat Marbella, bought on the Internet for £150.
The pair hope to have raised more than £1,000 for the aid and development charity Mercy Corps.
