Renault FT 17

These little buggies show up in the most unusual places!

Bamako, Mali, North-West Africa, March 2008

Seems it and its brother were used to awe the locals in the former French colony back in the 1920's. It has an interesting postwar(?) mod in that the wheels are spoked cast iron with triangular tin covers between the spokes.

Cheers! Mike
