Steve
Well?
Yes thank you (although I do get a bit of a twinge in the cold weather  ) Full marks for the Tin Indian - it was rumoured that it was to be Pontiac's challenge to the Corvette, and was swiftly buried by the General Motors suits. Next ....... |

Ok - bit more on the pic, this company is still in existance (from europe - depending on the times) Very well known for its trucks in certain fields. Also known for its cars it use to make - in fact I'm sure most people have desired one at one time. A major manufacture copied one of its designs years ago.
This van is a pre-production unit used for a famous (well I was told it was) expedition in the early 60's.
Any more than that, will give it away.
Who can tell me more?

I was thinking it could be a DAF, then I read the 'most people have desired one' so maybe not.

Well, I do remember that some people who drove in backwards racing (yes, they really had to drive in reverse!) loved the DAF's, as they would have the same speed in reverse as in normal direction. |

Well, I do remember that some people who drove in backwards racing (yes, they really had to drive in reverse!) loved the DAF's, as they would have the same speed in reverse as in normal direction. I feel I need a car like that - good for Italians. I was thinking it could be a DAF, then I read the 'most people have desired one' so maybe not. No not a DAF, more east (if my map of europe, in my head, is any good) Desired for one, well it was a design classic (the car) They are known, more for their Trucks, would get almost anywhere. Cars - well 2 designs very well known, and one feature of one of their engineering speciality was nicked copied by a very major car manufacturer. Whiched helped them in production of one of the world's best known car range?  ?? Do you need more of a hint, the chrome at the front was not normally fitted to the vans, not need for their role. Another hint - look how high it sits. |

ok - nicked is a strong word, may be not.
the company who had their ideas copied/infringed/nicked filed a lawsuit against the main manufacture. But it was stopped, after a certain event. One way of stopping a lawsuit.
who was the main manufacture ?
and who made the van

Didn't Triumph copy a Lancia before the war, but it looks more like a Commer/Karrier fire engine. However it seems that Lancia did make trucks.

I thought Andy had it with Unimog.
Maybe its an Avia, part of the Skoda group and therefore part of VAG
