Is it a South American home-build, using some Jeep parts, but not a Jeep chassis?

Wendax · « **Reply #3 on:** January 03, 2016, 09:21:50 AM »

Not South American, not home-built, otherwise correct.

Is it a Phillipino Sarao 'Jeepney' - and this shot suggests it may have been converted to run on LPG. Just a guess....

Wendax · « **Reply #5 on:** January 05, 2016, 08:51:53 AM »

Not from the Philippines

Is it a tow truck?

Wendax · « **Reply #11 on:** January 13, 2016, 02:44:59 AM »

Not Asian, so not Mahindra and not from Myanmar.
Not a truck designed for towing automobiles.

Based on a Hotchkiss Jeep, but the puzzle car has not been built by them.

"In the 1950's Cournil began building his own vehicle which he called simply the Cournil. This first version still used a considerable number of Jeep parts, including a Hotchkiss JH (CJ-3B) body, on a massive tubular frame of rectangular section"

That's the car I am looking for. It has a type designation though. But that is easy to find, if you know the one of its successor.

Locked for you to supply that last bit of information.
