:hello:

According to the IMDb link it was filmed in Teheran, Iran.

According to Link to "www.citroenet.org.uk" (at the bottom), the Citroën 2CV Baby Brousse was built in Iran between 1970 and 1979 and was called Mehari in addition to the 'Baby Brousse' name.

If one is klicking on the 'Mehari' name, the page Link to "www.citroenet.org.uk" come up with a Iranian made Mehari brochure on the right hand side towards the bottom.

Link to "www.citroenet.org.uk" shows differnt versions of the 'Baby Brousse' in addition to numbers made. Apparently the Iran factory produced more than 9.300 of them which is not insignificantly.

Note:
- This is not the Jiane model which was an Iranian built Citroën Dyane.'
- The Iranin plant was called 'Société anonyme iranienne de production automobile' or SAIPA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAIPA and was owned to 25% by Citroën and 75% by Iran.

My reading of that page is that the Baby Brousse was called "Mehari" in Iran. Citroenet uses "Baby Brousse/Mehari" to make clear that it is not the original Méhari.

Quote The Baby Brousse (called Jiane Mehari) was built by Saipa who had previously assembled 2CVs. The car was built alongside various Dyane variants from 1970 to 1979. Citroën's records indicate that 9,315 were built between 1970 and 1976.

Quote The Méhari name was also used in Sénégal and Iran (although in Iran it was spelled 'Mehari' without the diacritic) for a steel-bodied car based on the Baby Brousse.

My reading is that 'Baby Brousse' is a collective nickname for that model, but my French is very limited...

I believe the brand name is Saipa as the Citroën ownership was only 25%.

The Jiane carried Citroën badges, and the Citroën logo appeared on brochures.

The company name was SAIPAC (Société anonyme iranienne de production des automobiles Citroën) from 1965 to 1975 and SAIPA after 1975.
