Somthing getting popular down here are the Penscour ?? - surplus from Switzerland?? Look very much like the Unimog

Several configurations - ambulance - troup carrier ---- Mercedes motor and running gear. lockers front and rear and transfer case locker - impressive performance. Friend has one in Colorado and it goes anywhere

Probably 6-10 around San Felipe now.

A side note - a local Army General saw one in a shop in San Felipe and tole the owner it coiuldn't be painted the color it is as this is the color of Mex army vehicles. (Gen is known for Tequila comsumption so don't know if this is really right)

Another vehicle in San Felipe area


Here is another type of vehicle you see in the San Felipe area, locally built - builder has made about 50 of them so far. Called Barney - has to do with Barney Rubble's car on the Flintstones.
