When prominent motor journalists and websites discuss cars that are unkillable, and popular in developing countries, the names they easily reach for include the Toyota Hilux trucks, Toyota Land Cruisers, Nissan Patrols, and Land Rovers. But when a quick search can yield pictures such as the one at the bottom of this post (merci, Slate Afrique, from an article titled “Peugeot 505 – The Guinean Donkey“), they’re clearly making a major journalistic omission. Quick, we need to get the Times on this story – French Car Manufacturer Wronged by Anglophone Press! Fortunately, you need not just read about the Guinean beast of burden, you can also own one (or two or three) – check out this 1984 Peugeot 505 Diesel (that’s dee-ezelle, not deezel) for sale in Seattle, WA for $1500.
