Need info about Trek event in Georgia 1996

[dave_lucas]

Does anyone out there happen to have any pictures or info about the Trek event that was held in Georgia in 1996? I am specifically trying to find out what vehicles were used, color, Graphics package, year, model and so forth.

Just trying to ascertain if a certain Discovery was used in the event or not.

Thanks

That would be great

Do you happen to know if it looks like this one? I think someone just added the Trek stickers but just want to verify

Painted mirrors. Nice touch.

Those Mirrors are bespoke Dave... how can you not like them

I found some stuff on the web about the event but, no pictures of the trucks or mention of any particulars about them..

"The first TReK was held in 1996 in Georgia on a 300 acre farm owned by Atlanta Land Rover dealer Mark Hennessey. The event used Discovery Series Is and was won by the hometown team of Land Rover North Pointe."

Same here, I found info that it was the first event but no pictures.

I am pretty sure it is a fake (paint color and sticker seem odd) but figured I would see what the deal was.

I think that if they used a special paint scheme we would have heard about it like the 97's XDs and such.. Of course my Conniston Green 98 Disco isn't supposed to be that color either since it wasn't offered so you never really know I guess. I think that one is just someone trying to make it look like a new 04 G4.

Bingo.

It's fake.

 

[dave_lucas]

Sweet!

That is exactly what I was looking for

Thanks!

So they used 97 XDs in the 96 event which kinda makes sense since the models ussually some out the middle of the prior year if I'm understanding that correctly....

 

[Ian95rrc]

Yeah, I think some or all of the Eco Challenge XD's where also 96 models.

I believe they were XD D1

I spotted the XD D1 last ski season near snowshoe, wv. They wanted 17k for it
