bedford wwii vintage truck quiz answer
Answer: The answer is BEDFORD vehicles, manufactured by Vauxhall Motors. As a young kid, in the 1980's and even in 1990's, I have seen many of the Bedford trucks, being used mainly for carrying soil used for earth-filling or bricks for construction purposes. Mos of these trucks were of WWII vintage. Even today, one may come across Bedford trucks in rural India, while in Pakistan, its a certainty, to be found on highways. An urban legend associated with these trucks was that the drivers had to put the vehicle in back-gear instead of applying the brakes, to get the trucks to stop immediately. As with most urban legends, most probably, it is untrue!

Answer: The logo is that of the Dakar Car Rally.
The connection is Mark Thatcher.
In 1982, Mark Thatcher, son of the then British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, along with his French co-driver Charlotte Verney and their mechanic, disappeared for six days. On January 9, the trio became separated from a convoy of vehicles after they stopped to make repairs to a faulty steering arm. They were declared missing on January 12; after a large-scale search, a Lockheed L100 search plane from the Algerian military spotted their white Peugeot 504 some 50 km (30 mi) off course. Thatcher, Verney and the mechanic were all unharmed.
No one came up with the right answer.
