Two dogs you have failed me - what is this thing??

You all saw this thing in round number one.

What is it and where does it come from?

Postman Pat Postman Pat Postman Pat ran over his cat,
Blood and guts went flying
Postman Pat was crying
He will never drink and drive again.
Every body knows his blood stained van,
All the children run away from him etc etc

Surely it should be red?

That's an UMM i think. I like umm. I don't think they're made anymore though; stopped just a couple years ago.

I think the man is correct. Searched for UMM (portuguese car maker no longer in business).

Found some more pictures at this site:

Yeah, I happened to be in Portugal when I saw them. UMM by the way, was short for Unified Mechanical Manufacturing co., or something like that. They made things other than cars.

Re: Two dogs you have failed me - what is this thing??

Thanks. The mystery is solved.

I actually thought that it might be a Land Rover derivative - and that some of the more military inclined brethren had experience of it. I know Twodogs, Roughneck, Harald et al are the experts

What it is doing in the Okavango Delta is the next issue. Probably came via Angola.

And lastly is there an uglier thing to drive than this? (Excluding Ssan Yong Musso!)
