    Spot on. A 1919 Turcat-Mery, and a very special one that has a 9 litre x 6 cylinder Lorraine-Dietrich aircraft engine. Built for a French duke and declared a "national treasure". It was clandestinely shifted to Holland and exported to a US Collector who has to return it to France. Stated to have had almost no use for 86 years and is absolutely original.

    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Slotted VW-type wheels and positive camber at rear suggest it's based on an early Porsche (356?).

    Correctomundo!

    It is a 1953 Porsche 597 Jagdwagen (roughly translated as "hunting car") and was a light military vehicle, designed to cover approximately the same remit as the Jeep, Kübelwagen and Land-Rover.

    You can find more info here: The only site dedicated to the Porsche 597

    Your next!
