ABOUT CAR240
Our entry, crewed by Ian (driver) and Sue (navigator) English, is now a 1987 Nissan Terrano (a Nissan variant, very similar to the Pathfinder). While Trek4Kidz is not a speed event, it will be covering some very challenging roads and a vast majority of the route is well off the main routes so all vehicles need to be well prepared and suitable for some interesting excursions “off the beaten track”. As such, car 240 is prepared with all the needed safety and reliability features and offers a unique and noticeable vehicle that is highly visible wherever it goes.
CAR240 is fitted with a half cage for safety, all needed navigation equipment, carries 2 spare tyres at all times, along with a limited space for our essentials.
Having run our highly regarded Datsun 240Z for a number of years, the desire to enjoy a little more comfort (and space - enough for the car fridge/wine cooler !!) led to retiring the zed and commissioning the Terrano.
The Terrano was previously a Victorian chase/crew vehicle for a Vic rally team and has been rebuilt over the last few years, fully engineered for NSW and is sporting the TRK240 number plates to respect the efforts of the Zed over the years.
The photo gallery below shows some of our fantastic sponsors, as well as various pix from this years prep through to prior years and some of the fun we have had along the way.
We will endeavour to update and post more along the way during the 2024 event.
