I am somewhat reassurred to see that as it has recently sold for £45K that it will be well looked after. That's a lot of dsoh for an old A40, though I always thought that it was an amazing car, so far ahead of its time.

Subsequently produced in South Africa as the BMW 1800SA and also assembled in Rhodesia as the BMW Cheetah.

stendec Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 As far as I can work out, this was a raffle prize promoting Gauloises. Spricht irgendjemand Deutsch? The caption on the back of the photo reads: Quote Truck-Ente Mit der Truck-Ente verlost Gauloises jetzt ein Fahrzeug, das selbst die Techniker von Citroen nicht für möglich hielten. Dieses Supermodell ist bis ins letzte Detail liebevoll einem 38 t-Truck nachempfunden, inklusive des abstellbaren Aufliegers. Für Freunde unkonventioneller Lebensart das ideale Wohnmobil.
