Marseille, la Joliette. Aux Docks , le MX et son "Musée de l'Anis" (enfin, plutôt du pastis !)
La Méhari (jaune, évidemment) sert pour embarquer vers un voyage virtuel dans Marseille (bon, je n'ai pas testé)

Fiat 600 Jungla
The Jungla, Italian for “Jungle,” was designed at the request of Fiat supremo Gianni Agnelli who wanted a vehicle to compete with the popular Mini Moke, and perhaps to win the company some military contracts. Just 3,200 or so were made between 1965 and 1974. Emphasizing simplicity as a design criterion, the Fiat Jungla boasted a utilitarian, squared-off metal body, providing space for four adults and up to 40 kilograms of luggage, cargo, or beach equipment. Leveraging the mass production of the Fiat 600, a popular and affordable car in Italy at the time, the Jungla was based on the same platform to ensure cost-effective, efficient production and broad parts availability.
Powering the vehicle was a 767cc inline-four cylinder, overhead valve engine borrowed from the Fiat 600, with power transmitted through a 4-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels. Despite its modest output of 32 bhp, the low curb weight of 578 kilograms allowed for a respectable top speed of 95 km/h, depending on the load. Though of course, it woulds take a driver with significant courage to actually achieve that speed on Italy’s twisting coastal roads.
While initially intended for military use, the Jungla only saw very limited adoption by the Italian armed forces. That said, it found favor with the Italian Forestry Service and the Carabinieri who ordered some for specialist roles.
Interestingly, the Savio Jungla became particularly popular among affluent vacationers in France, Italy, and Monte Carlo. With their open-top configuration, these four-seaters offered a simple means of transportation for short trips from their hillside manor houses to the waterfront. Notably, the Kelly 600 variant of the Fiat Jungla gained significant recognition. This special edition featured a tasseled folding fabric roof, woven rattan seats, and other rattan accents. Produced by a Fiat dealership based in Monaco, original examples of the Kelly 600 have become highly sought-after and valuable collector’s items.
To shield occupants from the sun, many of these cars were fitted with simple canvas tops as mentioned above, while rattan seats were often preferred for their ability to accommodate individuals who were still damp from swimming in the sea.
Similar to the Savio Jungla, the Mini Moke and the French sibling, the Citroën Méhari, were also commonly seen at waterfront establishments during that era. The Méhari bore a striking resemblance to the Jungla, leading many to speculate that it drew direct inspiration from the Italian vehicle, appearing on the market just three years later.

Far Out isn't Far Enough: Life in the Back of Beyond
Buchvorstellung Tomi Ungerers Kunst kann man nur bewundern oder verabscheuen. Es ist kaum möglich, keine Meinung zu diesem 1931 in Straßburg geborenen, vielseitig begabten und kreativen Künstler und Provokateur zu haben, der von sich behauptete ein Menschenfreund und Gesellschaftsfeind zu sein. Abb.: Tomi Ungerer im Jahr 2017; Bildquelle: Wikipedia Die Fülle an Einfällen, die ihm täglich…

Ogni volta che vado in Francia per vacanza, dismetto il nostro tricolore e indosso i panni di un galletto d'oltralpe..Prima scelta, l'auto. Stamattina il noleggiatore si e' strofinato le mani. Probabilmente era un po' che non affittava quella Citroen méhari buggy che teneva in fondo all'autosalone. Il costo non e' dei piu' abbordabili ma se si vuole essere nostalgici nazionalisti degli anni 60-70 come lo sono i francesi bisogna pagarne lo scotto..😁
Tumblr media
La scelta e' stata agevolata anche dal mangianastri, un portatile a pile poggiato sul cruscotto 😁. Senza musica non si puo' guidare. Colonna sonora della vacanza..

L’être qui est là est un moderne, un nihiliste, il ne tient à rien. Il n’est guère plus patriote que les trois cent mille étrangers, que l’aveuglement de nos gouvernants a laissé s’entasser dans ce Paris dont ils seront les maîtres quand ils voudront ; il ne se révoltera pas comme les aïeux sous l’empire de quelque excitation passagère, sous une influence atmosphérique en quelque sorte qui échauffe les têtes et fait surgir des barricades instantanément… Le cadavre social continue à marcher sans qu’on s’aperçoive qu’il est cadavre, jusqu’au jour où le plus léger heurt brise cette survivance factice et montre de la cendre au lieu du sang… Les Français sont comme les méharis qui s’agenouillent pour qu’on puisse les charger plus facilement ou comme les chevaux de renfort d’omnibus qui, leur besogne faite, vont tout seuls rejoindre leur place en bas dans la montée et attendent là qu’on les attelle de nouveau.
Edouard Drumont, 1885.

23–10–23 Je m’approche de la maison d’un ami de ma belle-sœur chez qui elle doit me rejoindre. La propriété se trouve du côté vendéen de mon île à l’opposé de la côte sauvage. Cet homme vient de l’acquérir après la mort de sa femme. On se connaît peu. J’ai peur de le déranger. Je préfère attendre ma belle-sœur avant d’entrer dans le jardin mais il m’aperçoit et vient à ma rencontre. Je vois alors arriver par le chemin qui longe la maison, mon père suivi de ma mère. Ils marchent encore d’un pas alerte. Ils ont dû se lever tôt pour être déjà rendus là. J’entends ma mère râler contre mon père. Je m’apprête à les présenter à l’homme quand je réalise qu’ils sont morts eux aussi. Dans ce cas, à quoi bon faire les présentations. Je les rejoins. Ensemble nous traversons une autre propriété où une femme paresse, allongée sur un transat dans le jardin, inconsciente du risque de submersion annoncé. En effet, une vague est en train de se former au-delà de la dune. Nous embarquons avec mes parents dans une petite Méhari, pour fuir au plus vite. Nous nous engageons dans un étroit chemin où les ailes de la voiture se frottent à la végétation. Des morceaux de la carrosserie se détachent alors que nous nous frayons un chemin. Soudain des roches nous bloquent le passage mais elles n’effraient pas mon père qui manœuvre habilement. Les pneus adhèrent à la pierre lisse. La voiture se cabre mais réussit à franchir les obstacles en abandonnant à chaque fois un élément de carrosserie. Une fois sortis de ce goulet, on récupère les morceaux tombés qu’on remet en place avant de repartir.

Citroen Mehari 4x4 
Presented at the right time in May 1968, this vehicle symbolizes freedom, leisure and youth in itself. Although designed on the outside by Roland d'Ivoy de la Poype, Jean-Louis Barrault and Jean Darpin, it is once again a real Citroën with its usual ingredients of innovation! All-plastic bodywork, Dyane 6 engine, beater suspension, and atypical styling made to last. Moreover, it is only after 10 years of career that the 4x4 version appears for 4 additional years. A worthy successor to the 2CV Sahara, which was equipped with two engines and therefore four-wheel drive, the Méhari 4x4 is such an exceptional machine with astonishing off-road performance. Indeed, its lightness, its long-travel suspensions, its very short overhangs allow crossings that large 4x4s cannot succeed. Its look is not to be outdone, with the difference with the two-wheel-drive version: reinforced front and rear bumpers, a fuel outlet on the right, an optional spare wheel on the bonnet and one-piece rear lights. . Produced in only 1,213 copies, this 4x4 version is an absolute must!

This temporary retrospective, which will open on April…

The Citroën Méhari: An Unusual Car Designed By A WWII Fighter Ace
The Citroën Méhari was developed in the 1960s as one of the world’s first ABS plastic-bodied cars. It was influenced by the WWII-era Willys Jeep and the Mini Moke, and it was invented by French World War II fighter ace Count Roland de la Poype. The Méhari would remain in production for 20 years with over 140,000 of them sold, they were commonly used at beach resorts in Europe  but they were also…
