Does anyone have photos of this very UGLY car? It was used in small numbers by various armies during the early part of WW2.

In particular, I'd like to have any information about colors in Romanian service....

Grateful for any help at all.

Hey Chris. I see you made it over here. Glad to have you of course.

Anyway, I don't have any pics of this beastie in Romanian service, but I may have some other pics. I'll take a look and let you know.

BTW, there's a very nice article in the December issue of the Military Machines International magazine covering the six seat version of the Vidal Tempo G1200... It's appropriately called "Ugly Duckling"...

Excellent help, everyone. I'm trying to get details of the use of this beast by Axis forces during WW2, in order to provide a nice color scheme for my Plus models kit. The numbers of Tempos manufactured was very low, so getting hold of photos is a real difficulty.

Thanks again,

Chris
