There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar, great expectations everybody's watching you: a brand new classic car in la France profonde. A 1968 Citroën Dyane, produced from 1967 to 1983, nearly 1.45 million. The design was based on the Citroën 2CV but with new body panels, more angular features and in the front wings integrated headlights. The pick-up version is something special. In any case, the one shown below has been fully restored with the utmost care and attention to detail.

Don't need a name to recognise one of those. 
I was driving one at about 10 years of age & well remember the changeover from petrol to TVO on the one my farmer neighbour had.
Frightening thing when huge, unguarded, log cutting circular saw was 'hung' off the back & hooked up to the tractor's belt drive pulley.

Back in the UK I saw a 4 wheel drive susuki with a spare wheel cover emblazoned with "Susuki Quattro". Ckever.

I recall seeing several with very naughty spare wheel covers. A couple of rhinos having s*x.
On my headstone it will say: Please switch off mobile phones. I'm trying to get some sleep.

Naughty technicalities, imported from the other side of the Rhine river into the English language.
" However, the Samurai – which was built simultaneously in Japan and Spain – has one major enemy: rust. The factory-fitted anti-corrosion protection is poor. Unfortunately, the vast majority of previous owners shied away from investing in retrofitting cavity and underbody sealant. This comes back to haunt the little Suzuki after five years at the latest. The first signs of rust appear on the wheel arches, the sills, the lower edges of the doors, the floor panels and the windscreen frame. Water also tends to seep into the interior at these points, causing further corrosion to progress .......... Key components such as the gearbox, differentials, alternator and water pump generally last for around 100,000 kilometres. Fortunately, the rather flimsy starter motor is inexpensive to replace. It often lasts only 60,000 kilometres and is almost always to blame when a Samurai fails to start (11 per cent). No fewer than 18 per cent of readers have broken down whilst driving their Samurai. "
