I know it's a Discovery series I, but thats about it. Anyone care to shed some light on this recent addition to our parking lot?

Looks like an XD clone. Did you see any special vehicles decals or just those XD stickers? RTE bumpers weren't factory but it's a cool setup.

It's a 96 Eco Challenge XD. Only 28 were made. Very rare.

That is not a clone. That's the real deal. Also has about $5k+ of SafariGard parts on it probably from the early 2000's.

I'm not sure about that hood logo.

Here is what I've seen for the Eco challenge logos.

Here is what I've seen for the Eco challenge logos.

The logo is all faded and most of the elements are gone so you are seeing the regular hood blackout. Here is what the full color logo would have looked like:

Also you can see the "British Columbia '96" in this photo from when a guy was respraying the hood and sanded most of it off.

I like the color and the vinyl printing! How does one go about getting custom vinyl decals for their vehicle without paying a fortune? I have an 04 D2 and I have some ideas in mind.

Finally found a good picture of the hood logo

Br0000 that's RTE stuff not $G. Look at the recovery points and taper

I went and looked at them when they were for sale after the event at the Seattle dealership. There wasn't any discount for them being used. They considered all of the add ons as compensation for the depreciation. Keep in mind this was '96, so there were a few unsold 95 D-90's on the lot still, and they were the same price.

Calling all XD, TReK, and Eco-Challenge owners, if you'd like to join the database of owners, I've got a FB page setup and I'm trying to gather all known trucks to see how many are left: https://www.facebook.com/landroverdiscoveryxd/
