UMM Alter II
"Postal van in the front, Defender 110 in the back. I love it!"
You might not have heard of this one. I certainly haven't.
At least not until a few weeks ago when Are J Heiseldal sent me a picture of one. Thanks for the challenge, sir.
It's a Portugese 4x4 from the late 80s, early 90s that seems to still have an enthusiastic fanbase, based on the forums I've come across.
As far as I can tell, it's an improvement of the UMM Alter, which is an improvement of the UMM 4x4 Cournil, which is based on a design by Frenchman Bernard Cournil, whose company adapted left-behind Willys Jeeps for agricultural use after WW2.
These things have even competed in the Paris-Dakar, beating out some Landies in the process.
I'm getting into slightly more obscure offroaders now, in an attempt to have as many different countries as possible represented in my series. I honestly wouldn't have expected to be able to include one from Portugal.
"NOISY. Also, did I mention the noise? I am sorry, I can't hear you."
