Somua it is. Lock for you for the model

Can't find anything about a Somua Jeep. Was it made between 1982 and 1987 ?

(I know it is still locked.)
Just my two cents: I doubt that the identification as a Somua is correct. In 1955, Latil, Renault heavy trucks and Somua were merged to form Saviem-LRS (= Latil-Renault-Somua), soon to become just Saviem. The Latil and Somua brands were discarded with the merger. Why should Renault revive the Somua name for a Jeep-related vehicle in 1986, when they owned about 50 % of American Motors, thus Jeep itself?

I really don't know, I asked myself the same question. But the source where I've found it says that the built this prototype under Somua brand in 1986 and discharged it because they dropped the AM business.

I had the same feeling about Somua. Maybe this Jeep was a prototype for the army so they preferred to use a French brand instead of calling it a Jeep ?

Anyway, I've Google'd and Bing'ed it to death and can't find anything about it. Is it available on some Facebook page ?

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #42 on:** May 08, 2018, 12:23:10 PM »

I've found it in a PDF page about Somua history. The interesting thing about this jeep is that it was built totally in plastic to make it lighter for transporting it.

To help you to solve it. The model is a two letter-3 numbers.

Can't find this PDF, please unlock.
