In the 1960s, a French couple living in Ivory Coast has taken robust mechanicals longtime Citroën 2CV and built a utility body to adapt the result, the Baby Bush, has spawned a legion of imitators, notable among them Greece s NAMCO Pony and Chile Yagan is not content to let the aftermarket have all the fun, Citroën has developed a program that would allow decentralized production of a single body sheetmetal, while the french automaker would provide the foundations and powertrain villagers of the developing world, with minimal investment, could start their own auto plants Based on the simple design brief to build, easier to finance, or easy to Build and easy to financier in F rench the vehicle became known as FAF He made his debut in 1973.
Barely two years later, Automobielfabriek, Dutch concern to Van Doorne responsible for DAF CVT-pioneering automobiles, rapidly sold its car production interests in Volvo and turned his attention to Coincidence trucks We think not well aware of the supremacy FAF in the field of economic vehicles that end in the capital, capital F, we blew a gasket about when we stumbled on this FAF 4 4 for sale in France.
Citroën once built a twin-engine, 2CV wheel drive quite weird This, however, was not based on this car, known as the Sahara Instead, FAF A 4 4 has its bowels of Mehari 4 more 4 classic and yet uses the 652 cc engine Visa diminutive Citroën history students recall the Mehari plastic body as the French answer to the Mini Moke buggy front wheel drive car in perfect base for an afternoon of board sea ramble most Meharis were before -drivers, like most FAF reported on the layout of the 2CV almost word for word.
The result of a defense contract with the Army, the FAF A 4 4 of 1979 was designed as a lightweight, deployable air machine, ideal for transporting troops fell in remote locations with minimal immediate support its dual engine fixed fuel-sipping meant that two fuel jerrycans value would take a few soldiers in the desert of North Africa and back or, if Brezhnev great ideas, far to the Fulda Gap, where jeeplets Frankish would meet casually probably run on T-72s advancing columns.
French army authorities apparently realized that hole in the plane a little early, and as the seller of this, only 50 or so FAF A 4x4s was liquidated under construction, 10 of which went to army for evaluation This survivor claims to be the only example of documents, although the documentation, it is is not specified Anyway, FAF 4 4 is a phenomenally rad endearingly dorky shaft spur of the 2CV ask is 19,000, equivalent to about 23,450 at current exchange rates given that three years ago, a 200-Biscúter sold for 28750 and Biscúter only had one driven wheel, four-wheel drive can not help FAF to stand out as an excellent deal.
