    One of the most ambitious chapters in New Zealand&#39;s manufacturing history opened 50 years ago today - the rollout of the country&#39;s first and only mass-produced motor vehicle. A Wanaka owner taking Trekka&#39;s off-road ability seriously. Photo: Roger Taylor.

    Ha! I remember those scrawny little things. As a teen, I desperately wanted a landy for my first car...someone suggested one of those, I think I nearly spat at them!

    I had one but I also had a Series 1 88", the 'Trekka' was a weird under powered creature, from memory it had a transverse front axle I used as a shooting buggy but it didn't last long, replaced by a another Series 1, I don't have any images of it they were destroyed in a flood back in 1975, cheers Dennis
