And now it’s time for “the Disco” – Car number 17

January 25, 2018 //  by Neil Donnan//  2 Comments

Disco does not have another name but as the only Discovery on this trip, Disco will do nicely.

Disco is a 1997 Landrover Discovery – Car number 17 owned by Tessa & David.

.
Bought by Tessa and Pen Dobson in 2010 for Rallye Med, Disco was prepared by Paul Marsh at Footloose.  The very same Paul Marsh who joins us with Pooh Bear the Land Cruiser.

Now a veteran of our La Gira Andina rally, where the only problem was a faulty alternator,  Disco has otherwise purposefully and steadfastly travelled at the back of the group carrying spare parts and she has always been available to help where necessary.

She’s looking forward to coming out of retirement to help wherever she can from Vietnam to Myanmar and back.

At home she is the perfect vehicle for taking the family on rough beach roads in North Norfolk.  See you all there!

Who are the GRO?

We are a non-profit making organisation created for people who relish a challenge and an interest in classic cars. Combining these two things allows our members to explore the world.
The charge for all rallies will be “at cost”, save for a pre-stated administration fee for organising the event and the shared cost of the service / medical crew. We are able to do this as we will also be participating in the adventure and the countries are ones we wish to visit.
