Neat-looking little runabout! I'd swear that if it has wheels or tracks, HP can find a photo of it. And Robin, would the tracked one work there in Stockholm?

Weelll you know, we do have real streets so we can use normal cars
There has been very little snow the last winters so there is not really a need for that kind of tracked vehicles ...
I am not totally certain that it would be possible to make the tracked one street legal.

Off road in the forests in witertime would be another thing

Did you notice the warning "Protect from strong heat (Strong sunshine, radiator, hot water, etc.)" ?

Knowing that the 1:1 one body was made of ABS, maybe this warning can apply to it as well...

Gorgeus!! ... many memories on the Mehari, in my 20's with 2 other friends we have restored one and painted Canary yellow and we went on holiday in Italy for a month, we used to fill the floor of the back seat of ice and we kept the cold beers!....
