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

Hello,

You got me. By now you are probably certain that my Frog, er, French knowledge is marginal at best...

Thank you for pointing this out.

I have already corrected my post.

Mehari Armée would then be French for Army Camel. And well, you can push a camel with one hand... Provided it does not kick or something.

FJ Cruiser thats a sore point as we don't get...except for a few imported.

US market is circa 28kUSD, here its 100kUSD due to import tax.

What can we do? Malaysia government want to protect Proton & Perodua. They sacrifice whole forest to save one tree.

While it is certainly not a Land Cruiser the goofy thing probably has " descent " off road capability because it has no drive train ( front wheel drive ) and independent suspension. Not to mention it weighs 5 pounds.

BINGO ..... Sharp eye.

Have to come clean, I noticed the citroen logo above the L/H taillight and searched citroen moke, came up with pictures of citroen mehari. Cant say Ive seen any in NZ, similar to VW Thing though, very rare to see any of them here also. The Mehari would be a fun little summer cruiser.

Considering you cheated you should return the trophy and cash prize.
The hood was removed to hide the logo but I didn't realize there was an additional logo on the rear.

My buddies.........Even though I once owned a LJ78, I do have "standards" which don't include the pride of the French Army.
My friend actually has two of the goofy looking things.

 

[crushers]

sorry to say but i would rather have 2 of the goofy looking things than a LJ78 ...
:grin:

Remember with enough $ you can improve the LJ78. I am not sure the same applies to the French Mobile.

My HJ75 is about to witness it's first hurricane. I guess I will find out if it leaks anywhere.

 

[crushers]

saw that on the weather channel, lock her down.

might be a good time to borrow your buddies "bathtub" (citroen mehari) and go for a float ...

Both of the Mehari's belong to a friend and I assume it is his intentions to sell them.

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.

Sometimes there are four 70-series cruisers in my driveway . . . along with the 105.

in Canada. No problem.

Try acquiring 70-series trucks in the US and then sing that song.

The OP specified "in the US".

 

[Gun Runner 5]

Okay let me try again. First of all I did not mean to start an international incident
Between the States and Canada. Secondly I should have stated: the most 70 Series
PER CAPITA of any city in the U.S. ( a town of approximately 50,000.) Now everyone shake hands.
