Guess?

Ok Darrell its an A6 1500. Your turn now!!

[jaybee]

While we wait for Darrell to tease our brains try this car, just made for fresh air and fun!!

[Darrell]

Oops sorry it was barbacue weather so brain was otherwise occupied.

Ooo new one looks very fresh air and outdoorsy... just in time for the barbacue weather 

[Aaron]

Is it a NSU Ramses?

[jaybee]

Hey well done Aaron. Built in Egypt with local parts and NSU Prinz running gear. Your turn.

[Rusty's Uncle]

Was that car marketed as part of a pyramid selling scandal 

[Aaron]

Try this one

[GTMaster]

A bit like the military version of the Lamborghini lm002..... is it Italian?

[Aaron]

Does have some distant Italian heritage but it's not Italian

[Aaron]

OK this seems to be stumping everyone so some clues:
- it got as far as the pre-production prototype stage before being cancelled.
- it is amphibious.
- it is based upon a civilian market 4wd.
- the mechanicals are of a FIAT based design

[Aaron]

Hmmm.  No real reponses.   OK to prevent the topic from stagnating, let's put that one aside for the moment.  Try the attached below.  These were the original prototypes for a very common 4wd still made today.

[1973/126]

 Lada Niva?

[jaybee]

mahindra? made in India?

[Aaron]

Well 1973/126 got it.  Yep these were the prototype Nivas which look nothing like the final product..
They were named the E2121, Niva factory code is consequently 2121.

As for the previous one, it was the Vaz 2122, basically an amphibious Niva for the Russian millitary.

Both run FIAT derived drive lines hence the earlier clue.

[1973/126]

 Yeah I only got it thanks to the clues.
 Staying with the off road theme. This one might be a bit too easy.
