The seller offers for sale this Lohr FL 500 from 1979, a highly unusual and rare utility vehicle with a distinctive background. Powered by a 0.6-liter 2-cylinder petrol engine paired with a manual transmission, this compact pick-up offers a unique driving experience. This example has been off the road for several years, and while the engine turns over, it currently does not start due to lack of ignition spark. Its rarity and history make it an interesting opportunity for collectors or enthusiasts looking for a special project.
The Lohr FL 500 is a little-known vehicle with a fascinating history, originally developed in France for specialized purposes, including military deployment. Some examples were designed to be transported by air and deployed in challenging environments, highlighting their lightweight and functional construction. Due to their limited production and specialized use, surviving examples are rarely seen on the market. Today, the Lohr FL 500 is appreciated as a unique piece of automotive and military history, appealing to collectors seeking something truly different.
