Fresh photos from Uruguay by Hans Cornelisse. It seems like Uruguay is the new Cuba... This well used Citroen truck looks like a U23 and is still in nearly daily service. And why not, it's cheap and strong; the U23 was built from 1936 untill the early sixties, so spare parts may be relatively available easy and the Uruguay mechanics are without doubt highly creative in thinking up solutions. Yet most of the survivors are post-war. Late forties, fifties and sixties are available in abundance and in continuous use. Not by collectors but by merchants, farmers and others who lack the money for new Korean or Chinese material. Check the parallel story at Post-War today. Still one pre-war was spotted last week by Hans and that's a well known face. So thought it's a bit farfetched to say it's a mystery car, check this view and here a  second. How they do it? Just one repair after another...
