Yeah, but that's not what it is!

Considering that this exact truck is wearing a 14000 badge....

There are also two holes in the front bumper of the GPW ! (well, three actually)

I found another photo of what I thought was it - and it said a 230, yet if you really squint, you can sort of make out the 125D10 badge. I didn't squint!

What? Did everyone send their answer in within a minute of this posting?

A shot of the rear would have made this a LOT easier to find!!! At least I would have known it was a Ford!

Is it smiling or grimacing?

Out of proportion because they hung the engine in front of the front wheels. It must handle like a pig!

The problem with this sucker is that every car has a seat, making searching REALLY hard.

I didn't get it so I cheated. At least I know what it is now. No entry from me this week.

They sort of take turns at wiping! (have seen them working)

The lines of the wheel openings and the shape of the front fender are so similar to the Holden Premier my father used to own, so it's heritage was easy to work out.

Only two of us found it? wow. It was a tough one.

I ended up finding the exact model for it on Diamond Reo's current web page!

Parking aid, and so you don't squish anyone right in front of your bumper where you can't see. You see similar mirrors on the back of vans and people movers.

Stared at it for a while, then the penny dropped!

A good material to use for cloth is old teabags. Thin, but tough. I've used it for tarps, bedding etc. Pics on deviant art: https://www.deviantart.com/otherunicorn/art/Road-warrior-00-279471778 https://www.deviantart.com/otherunicorn/art/Road-warrior-01-279472053 https://www.deviantart.com/otherunicorn/art/Road-warrior-Clifftop-view-279968161

Perhaps replace PM with "private message (PM)" in the rules, as in this case the person didn't understand what PM was.

You are meant to send a private message (PM) to the person who made the initial post, telling them and them alone what you think the vehicle is. That way we can all do our research and give our answer without spoiling the fun of the search for anyone else.

Just in case you can't read, here's a line from the instructions: "In case of violating the rules the quiz will closed immediately and no winners will be announced"

Finally my google searching found the car.... on this site... Yes. It found this page.

Meh - you missed me!

The X19 did it better.

I think the issue stems from Wikipedia, where that exact photo has the following written under it: Manufacturer Fiat Production 1966–1973 Assembly Rivalta, Turin (1966–69) Maranello, Modena (1969–73) Designer Filippo Sapino at Pininfarina (Spider) Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone (Coupé)[1]
