They were also built somewhere in eastern Europe as they seemed to be the transport of choice(?) of refugees during the Bosnian War about 1990.

chris40 ◊ 2008-10-06 09:49	No, garco, I don't think so. The Mahindra seems to be a licence-built International Harvester model, and if you look at the front - specifically the grille - and the wheels of this one it's clearly a MF 35 derivative. -- Last edit: 2008-10-06 09:49:32
