mm ◊ 2006-01-13 01:07	Sure it's not an Ebro F260?
antp ◊ 2006-01-13 10:24	No idea, it was submitted as an Avia, I did not receive more info
wickey ◊ 2006-01-13 13:33	Because I really doubt, that it is Avia - the one from Czechoslovakia..
antp ◊ 2006-01-13 13:59	Not easy to find information on internet because of the petrol company with the same name

One of the first was the licence built 'Romeo 2' from Alfa-Romeo. This was later developed into the van/minibus we see here, and also the name was changed to 'Ebro'. Additionally 'Fadisa' sold Avia trucks on the spanish market (which was restricted for foreign producers during Franco's dictatorship). The 'Ebro' name was also used for licence built Willys Jeep CJ-3B, 'Jeep Ebro', and in the late 1970s this was changed to 'Jeep Avia'. Probably this name change from 'Ebro' to 'Avia' took place for the vans, also.
