Ah - that's why it looked different - cool!

I have no intention to sell my XD, and I have a hard time believing it's worth anything north of $10k, but apparently it must be close.

Has anyone ever come across the "Centre Edition"? I looked at one for sale a few years ago, but was new to the Disco game and didn't have any reference to what was special about it. I assume it had something to do with the Land Rover Centres of the '90s, but not sure what specs were unique.

It was probably a support vehicle for a trek event.

I've never heard of such a beast. I'd be interested to see if anybody has pictures. A quick Google search didn't show any results.

Always thought how cool the seats are with the handle built in to grab onto getting in the back seat.

I doubt it, since it was just a green D1 for sale privately in Portland. There was no connection to TReK that I could see, but I'll do some digging and see what I can find...

Oh, I thought that was a picture of it. I worked with a guy who had a grey disco and it's vin came up as an XD. What do you think that was all about?

Ah, that explains it. No, that's my XD.

Not sure why a grey one would come up as an XD, but best guess is that the decoder has it incorrect. Ironically, when I use online VIN decoders, my XD shows up as an SD, which is what it's based on.

I've seen one in person. It was indistinguishable from any other garden variety Disco with the exception of a small decal that said "Centre Edition" on the front quarter panel. Granted, this particular one was in pretty crappy condition, so if it had special features they were hidden by the state of neglect.

Stew is probably using DDW which is the Land Rover system for vehicle information

I know the special vehicles devision builds a lot of purpose built trucks. Not sure how many of those end up as an XD. I never varified what he was telling me about the truck cause I consider him a very reliable source. He was my foreman at the time.

I have the identical car with 120k - Got it for $1700 and it too had the orig spare but when I tried to used it the thing fell apart, lol...
