SOLVED: Djetset 673 - 1956 ACW Jeep with Mercedes-Benz 180D engine
« on: May 29, 2014, 04:14:29 PM »
Otto has just pointed out that my previous DS673 puzzle was a repost (the 1988 Portugal Dolphin from the USA). 

So, here is a replacement puzzle.  For a point, what is this, and where was it made?

Having been caught out before, can I ask whether this is a full-size vehicle?

This is an ACW, introduced in 1956 ; made by Ateliers de Construction Wietz from Thimister      ( eastern Belgium ) ; basically it is an American Jeep with a Mercedes-Benz 180D engine, an 8-speed speedbox and a sligthly modified body.

Well done Franck, that this the perfect answer, with nothing more to add from me.  Another well-earned point for you.
