I agree however that is not the correct answer.

Two of the 70 Series ( 2 of 3 ) in my dinky little home town.

Is the brown BJ70 the one that was for sale on c-a-r-s.com? I was looking at that one for a while. I still prefer that color to the silver and black two-tone I wound up with.

Congrats on the twins!

I give up on what that thing is but my son is 15 and I think it would be a perfect first "car" for him (as opposed to that sweet orange thing in the back of picture #3)



um?..its not a thing is it????

Fossilcruiser, that is the same one off cars.com. I recognized it right away since I looked at it for almost a month wanting to sink my teeth in it.

Wayne obviously you are fully up to speed on the pride of the French Army.

Sorry but this photo seems to have caused some confusion. I own the HJ75...not the BJ70. I was simply pointing out that there a three 70 Series Cruisers in my small home town ( probably the highest concentration of 70 Series in the
U.S. ) The BJ70 is still owned by "C-A-R-S.com" and is still for sale as far as I know.

.6 liter = 55 miles per gallon. ..... and I thought a 3B yielded good fuel economy.

Hello,

You guys beat me to it... Is it a Mehari or a Mehari Armée? (not sure of the spelling.) A couple more facts about it.

There was a civilian version intended for recreational use, known for its odd colors. While it was good for a beach ride, it also enjoyed acceptable off-road mobility.

Back when it was in production, The French Army was looking for a replacements of its aging Hotchkiss M28, essentially a license-built Jeep.

The process would eventually lead to the Peugeot P4, a Mercedes G-Class derivative with a French powertrain. In the meantime, the military needed a light vehicle. The Mehari was evaluated and accepted into service.

The military variant was known as the Mehari Armée (French for Army Mehari.)

Just my two cents.

[EDIT]: Armée is French for Army. Therefore, Mehari Armée stands for Army Mehari

Something to be said for a vehicle you can push out of the garage with one
hand.
"Mehari" is supposedly French for camel.
