Do you know what it is (yes, I know you can see the badge)? A prize of a bottle of Cahors for the first correct answer with the model and nearest year of manufacture (but you'll have to come and collect it). And you are excluded from this competition if you live or have ever lived in France!
I'll give you the answer on Thursday 9th - the day we collect her

What on earth is THAT!!! Does it go? Does the top fold down? More importantly.... can it fit a Grannie in the back???
I'm sure I remember seeing one in an old black and white Jacques Tati film... early '60s???
thats not a car its a shed on wheels. i wouldnt drive it to far if i was you maybe just round the garden. lol
How rude!
Action man drives one of those doesn't he?
Is Tristan on the right track? Is it a car or is it Jon's coveted sit-on motor mower??....but there seems to be an ominous silence regarding space for the grannie in the back seat.....!! Are they not telling A. N. M. from Sutton something? Is this to be imparted on a 'need-to-know' basis? Glad the rellies in the Windy City are keeping up to date with the Lot. Got to go, sun well over the yardarm!!
Yes it is a vehicle not a mower (you KNOW I won't let him get one of those).
Yes, there is room for a grannie in the back seat if we choose to have the back seat in there. Only trouble is that to get to the back seat involves a bit of mountaineering!
No-one has come near the model or year yet. Four days until I reveal all.
This is just a pure guess, but is the car a Renault 6 Rodeo? I notice the cow-catcher bars on the front which, I believe, are particularly useful in the South West area of France! The year I would think, and this is another pure guess, sometime in the '70's? Perhaps 1973?
It's a Citroen (note badge on front). But I'm not saying any more.
Hmm, I wonder how many years out I should allow?
Yup, bull bars are very important, you never know when you might run up against a wild boar and I know who would come off worse. It also has a tow bar, not that that helps you lot to find out what it is!!!
It seems to be based on the original "VW Thing"
OK, so, it must be a Citroen Mehari, definately pre-1983... possibly 1979?
Amanda & Steve
The car is a Citroen Mahari, year of manufacture 1983.
Update:
Two people have the correct model but the wrong year. But I'm not putting their answers on the website until Thursday.
